Celebrate Dad This Father’s Day with Raincoast Books Just For Him
I love a heartfelt book even more so when they can be gifted to a special person in your life. Raincoast books has put together a fantastic selection of books just in time for Father’s Day!
Raincoast books has put together a diverse group of books that celebrate the joys and struggles of Fatherhood, one of the most important roles a man will ever take on!
The Quotable Dad has become my favourite book and one that we have cherished with my husband. This book contains over two hundred unique quotations! The Quotable Dad shares thoughts, ideas, humour and advice from the best minds on the challenges that Dads face. It supports, encourages and sheds light on a role that is not always appreciated as much as it should be – being a Dad is tough work!
Rock, Meet Window is a funny memoir from blogger Jason Good who dives into the world of magic, falls, and the meaning of fatherhood. Here he shares the story of his Father, a charismatic and affectionate man who taught him to live and be a good Dad to his own two kids. The moment Jason learned he will lose his Father to cancer and the year that followed, inspired him to reflect on how an imperfect Father can be perfect in all the ways that matter in the end. Jason explores the highs, the lows and everything in between.
The Power of Dad encourages Fathers to parent their child with the knowledge they are vital to the future of their children. Michael Byron Smith discusses the impact of a fatherless home, the challenges of parenting and the hierarchy of fathers that exist. There are absent fathers, present but absent fathers, authoritative fathers, loving fathers, teaching fathers and many more. Any man can look at himself, see where he stands and make changes.
The Better Man Project is 2,476 tips and techniques all focused on men’s health. Men tend to take better care of everything else but themselves. Their own health scares them! The Better Man Project aims to stop this. This guide is a straight forward personal information guide delivered with humour.
Here is the basic training manual for the first three years of Fatherhood! And it was read by Prince William (caught your attention there, didn’t I?!). This guide is practical and contains field tested instructions for caring for new ‘recruits’. It includes how to prepare the home, how to develop sleep routines, feeding, burping and so much more!
The name says it all: How to Survive Anything, A Visual Guide to Laughing in the Face of Adversity. earthquake imminent? Stuck in a middle seat? This book will teach you how to deal with anything that comes your way.

I like ..the Better man project, Rock meet window and The Quotable Dad. They look like great books and would be great to read.
I think my husband would love Commando Dad. I think being a first time dad can be overwhelming and I bet this book probably brings some humour into something very useful.
I’d choose How to Survive Anything because it looks funny and my partner would appreciate the humour.
Rock Meet Window would be my first pick. It sounds like a fun, memorable story.
How to Survive Anything, A Visual Guide to Laughing in the Face of Adversity. earthquake imminent? would be my second. It sounds funny and true.
And the last would be quotable dad, just because.
