The arrival of your first child is a unique season, both thrilling and terrifying, full of highs and lows and dizzying sleep deprivation.
In confusion and desperation, many of us reach for all manner of parenting books, hoping to find out how we can get these babies to learn to sleep and feed and be content. But I think all of us, deep down, realise that it is actually us who are doing most of the learning through those days. With the benefit of the passing of years (and three more children), Dai Hankey has now been able to reflect on his time as a new dad, tracing gospel truths through some of his experiences. The result is this short, beautifully illustrated book, Lessons I Learned from My Little Girl.
