All the Rage: Mothers, Fathers, and the Myth of Equal
Parenting. Darcy Lockman, $21.99
How, in a culture that pays lip service to women’s
equality and lauds the benefits of father involvement — benefits that extend
far beyond the well-being of the kids themselves — can a commitment to fairness
in marriage melt away upon the arrival of children?
Counting on male partners who will share the burden,
women today have been left with what political scientists call unfulfilled,
rising expectations. Historically these disappointed expectations lie at the
heart of revolutions, insurgencies, and civil unrest. If so many couples are
living this way, and so many women are angered or just exhausted by it, why do
we remain so stuck? Where is our revolution, our insurgency, our civil unrest?
Darcy Lockman drills deep to find answers, exploring how
the feminist promise of true domestic partnership almost never, in fact, comes
to pass. Starting with her own marriage as a ground zero case study, she moves
outward, chronicling the experiences of a diverse cross-section of women
raising children with men; visiting new mothers’ groups and pioneering
co-parenting specialists; and interviewing experts across academic fields, from
gender studies professors and anthropologists to neuroscientists and
primatologists. Lockman identifies three tenets that have upheld the cultural
gender division of labor and peels back the ways in which both men and women
unintentionally perpetuate old norms. If we can all agree that equal pay for
equal work should be a given, can the same apply to unpaid work? Can justice
finally come home? |

Be Brave, Be Brave, Be Brave: a True Story of
Fatherhood and Native American Heritage. F. Anthony Falcon, illustrated by
Trisha Mason, $17.99 (ages 3-5)
Based on the true story of the birth of his son, Be
Brave, Be Brave, Be Brave recalls the thoughts of author F. Anthony Falcon
upon holding his child after the baby and his wife endured a life-threatening
labor during Hurricane Harvey's landfall in Corpus Christi, Texas. Having felt
adrift from his Native roots, Falcon found himself with a deep desire to
understand his heritage so that he might better bestow it upon his son. A
meditation on what it means to "be brave," this is the tale of little
Lakota's perilous arrival into the world, of Falcon's struggle to reconnect
with a heritage that was lost to him, and a father's attempt to describe what
it means to be a Native American man in America today. |

Being a Dad Is Weird: Lessons in Fatherhood from My
Family to Yours. Ben Falcone, $191.99
Though he’s best known for his appearances in the movie Enough Said, as well as his hilarious role as Air Marshall Jon in Bridesmaids, Ben Falcone isn’t a big shot movie star director at home. There, he’s just dad.
In this winning collection of stories, Ben shares his funny and poignant
adventures as the husband of Melissa McCarthy, and the father of their two
young daughters. He also shares tales from his own childhood in Southern
Illinois, and life with his father — an outspoken, brilliant, but unconventional
man with a big heart and a somewhat casual approach to employment named Steve
Falcone.
Ben is just an ordinary dad who has his share of fights
with other parents blocking his view with their expensive electronic devices at
school performances. Navigating the complicated role of being the only male in
a house full of women, he finds himself growing more and more concerned as he
sounds more and more like his dad. While Steve Falcone may not have been the
briefcase and gray flannel suit type, he taught Ben priceless lessons about
what matters most in life. A supportive, creative, and downright funny dad,
Steve made sure his sons’ lives were never dull — a sense of adventure that
carries through this warm, sometimes hilarious, and poignant memoir. |

Do Fathers Matter? What Science is Telling Us About
the Parent We've Overlooked. Paul Raeburn, $21.00
What changes occur in men when they are
"expecting"? Do fathers affect their children's language development?
What are the risks and rewards of being an older-than-average father at the
time the child is born? What happens to a father's hormone levels at every
stage of his child's development, and can a child influence the father's
health? Just how much do fathers matter?
Drawing on research from neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, geneticists, and
developmental psychologists, among others, journalist Paul Raeburn takes us
through the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological
connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence
and into adulthood, and the importance of the relationship between mothers and
fathers. Ultimately, Raeburn shows how the role of the father is distinctly
different from that of the mother, and that embracing fathers' significance in
the lives of young people is something we can all benefit from. An engrossing,
eye-opening, and deeply personal book that makes a case for a new perspective
on the importance of fathers in our lives, no matter what our family structure. |

Do Men Mother? Fathering, Care and Domestic
Responsibility, 2nd Edition. Andrea Doucet, $42.95 
The second edition of Andrea Doucet’s Do Men Mother? builds
upon the award winning first edition to further illuminate fathers' candid
reflections on caring and the intricate social worlds that men and women
inhabit as they ‘love and let go’ of their children. Including interviews with
over one hundred fathers — from truck drivers to insurance salesmen, physicians
to artists — Doucet illustrates how men are breaking the mould of traditional
parenting models.
This edition expands her argument wider and deeper, building
on changes to the theoretical work that informs the field, her own intellectual
trajectory, and the fieldwork of revisiting six fathers and their partners a
decade after her initial interviews. She continues to examine key questions
such as: What leads fathers to trade earning for caring? How do fathers
navigate through the 'maternal worlds' of mothers and infants? Are men
mothering or are they redefining fatherhood? In asking and unravelling the
question ‘Do men mother?’ this study tells a compelling story about Canadian
parents radically re-envisioning child care and domestic responsibilities in
the twenty-first century. |

Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight?
Confessions of a Gay Dad. Dan Bucatinsky, $16.99
In 2005, Dan Bucatinsky and his partner,
Don, found themselves in an L.A. delivery room, decked out in disposable scrubs
from shower cap to booties, to welcome their adopted baby girl—launching their
frantic yet memorable adventures into fatherhood. Two and a half years later,
the same birth mother — a heroically generous, pack-a-day teen with a passion
for Bridezilla marathons and Mountain Dew — delivered a son into the
couple’s arms. Bucatinsky moves deftly from sidesplitting stories about where
kids put their fingers to the realization that his athletic son might just grow
up to be straight and finally to a reflection on losing his own father just as
he’s becoming one. Bucatinsky’s soul-baring and honest stories tap into that
all-encompassing, and very human, hunger to be a parent — and the life-changing
and often ridiculous road to getting there. |

Fathering: Promoting Positive Father Involvement. Edited
by Annie Devault, Gilles Forget & Diane Dubeau, $32.95
In the past few decades, researchers and practitioners
have moved away from the idea of fatherhood as a single, monolithic concept.
Examining the challenges of vulnerable fathers such as those in poverty or in
prison, they have developed valuable new strategies for cultivating the
positive involvement of fathers in the lives of their children.
Drawing on the innovative work of Prospère, a Quebec
organization that brought together fathers, university researchers, and health and
social service practitioners, Fathering details innovative
approaches that support positive father involvement. It provides numerous
examples of strategies and interventions with fathers, lessons learned from
these practices on how to better support vulnerable fathers and families, and
in-depth information on ways of designing, implementing, evaluating, and
disseminating the results of participatory action research (PAR) — a
methodology which put fathers at the heart of the project’s decision-making. |

The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life. Donald
Rosenstein & Justin Yopp, $32.95
On a mid-October evening, a group of fathers gathered
around a conference table and met each other for the first time. None of the
men had ever thought of himself a "support group kind of guy" and
each felt entirely out of place. In fact, nothing about their lives felt normal
anymore.
The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life chronicles the challenges and triumphs of seven men whose wives died from
cancer and were left to raise their young children entirely on their own.
Brought together by tragedy, the fathers — Neill, Dan, Bruce, Karl, Joe, Steve,
and Russ — forged an uncommon bond. Over time, group meetings evolved into a
forum for reinvention and transformed the men in unexpected ways. Through the
fathers' poignant interactions, The Group illustrates that while some wounds
never fully heal, each of us has the potential to construct a new and
meaningful future.
Rosenstein and Yopp, co-leaders of the support group,
weave together the fathers' stories with contemporary research on grief and
adaptation. The Group traces a compelling journey of healing and personal
discovery that no book has ever captured before. The men's touching efforts to
care for their families, grieve for their wives, and reimagine their futures
will inspire anyone who has suffered a major loss. |

Home Game: an
Accidental Guide to Fatherhood. Michael Lewis, $18.95
Many of the books written for fathers seem to suggest the only way to engage a man in reading about pregnancy or parenthood is to “dumb down” the material, trying to engage men through juvenile humour and manual-like instructions.
HOME GAME is a smart book, written by a smart man
(New York Times best-selling author of MONEYBALL and THE BLIND SIDE.)
The book is funny — hilarious at times — but it is also
honest, intelligent and utterly unsparing in Lewis’ accounts
of the feelings which took him by surprise as he grew into fatherhood.
This is a marvelous look at the difference between the idea of fatherhood and a man’s actual experience of it. |

If I Were Your Daddy, This Is What You’d Learn. Edited by Julia Espey, $31.50
Imagine a book where you peek into the private lives of extraordinary men who are also highly successful dads. How are they raising their own children? What essential mind-sets, values, and habits are they passing along? Are they equipping their children with something special — something to help them be more financially responsible, lead happier lives, and get along better with others? And most important, how can their experiences as a parent help you and your family?
Single parent Julia Espey wanted to provide her son with the best of what a father can give, so she began to interview fathers and ask them “What is the single most important thing Dads can give their children?” The results are shared in this book that speaks to all parents. |

Mama Tried: Dispatches from the Seamy Underbelly of
Modern Parenting. Emily Flake, $31.50
New Yorker cartoonist Emily Flake relates the
hilarious horrors of pregnancy, birth, and early parenting in this funny,
poignant, and beautifully illustrated book.
For most people, having a child doesn't go exactly as planned. Not many are
willing to admit that not only did they dislike the early days of parenting,
they sometimes hated it. Mama Tried is a relatable collection
of cartoons and essays pertaining to the good, bad, and (very) ugly parenting
experiences we all face. Subjects range from "are you ready for
children?" to "baby gear class-warfare." With incredible
honesty, Flake tackles everything from morning sickness to sleep training,
shedding much needed light on the gnarly realities of breastfeeding, child
proofing, mommy groups, and every unrealistic expectation in between. Mama
Tried will be an indispensable companion for sleepless parents and a fond
reminder for those already out of the woods. |

My Father's Hands. Joanne Ryder, $22.95 (ages 4-8)
A father makes a green and growing place and finds among
the shadows of bushes and flowers hidden treasures. Cupping them in his
earth-stained hands, he calls his daughter to come and share his discovery. Each
time, she finds a garden creature to marvel over and remember: a delicate pink
circle of worm, a beetle in shining gold armor, or a leaf-green mantis who
boldly balances upon her own steady and caring fingers. With graceful, loving
words and vibrant art, Joanne Ryder and Mark Graham portray a special father
who shares what he values most — all the beauty and wonder of the natural world. |

Rad
Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood. Tomas
Moniz & Jeremy Adam Smith, editors, $20.99
RAD DAD: DISPATCHES FROM THE FRONTIERS
OF FATHERHOOD combines the best pieces from the award-winning zine Rad Dad and
from the blog Daddy Dialectic, two kindred publications that have tried to
explore parenting as political territory. Both of these projects have pushed
the conversation around fathering beyond the safe, apolitical focus most books
and websites stick to; they have not been complacent but have worked hard to
create a diverse, multi-faceted space in which to grapple with the complexity
of fathering.
Today more than ever, fatherhood demands constant improvisation, risk, and
struggle. With grace and honesty and strength, RAD DAD's writers tackle all the
issues that other parenting guides are afraid to touch: the brutalities,
beauties, and politics of the birth experience; the challenges of parenting on
an equal basis with mothers; the tests faced by transgendered and gay fathers;
the emotions of sperm donation; and parental confrontations with war, violence,
racism, and incarceration. RAD DAD is for every father out in the real world
trying to parent in ways that are loving, meaningful, authentic, and ultimately
revolutionary. |

Raising Empowered Daughters: a Dad-to-Dad Guide. Mike
Adamick, $23.49
As a primary male role model in a girl's life, a father
influences his daughter in profound ways, from the way she defines her female
identity to what she expects from men. In Raising Empowered Daughters, Mike
Adamick offers a wise and witty handbook for dads, suggesting ways to raise
girls who won't settle for second-class-citizenship. Examining the
extraordinary array of sexisms-both subtle and not-so-subtle-girls encounter,
Adamick highlights not just the ways that girls and boys are treated differently
but how the roles of moms and dads are shaped by society, too.
Full of eye-opening anecdotes and dad-relatable humor,
this is a necessary guide for every father who wants to raise a confident
daughter. |

Lists. Jason Good, $21.95
Blogging sensation and family man Jason Good delivers a
laugh-out-loud reminder that everything is easier and more fun when approached
with a sense of humor — especially parenting. Each list captures a perfect (or
perfectly terrible) aspect of parenthood while wholeheartedly embracing every

giving blood and untangling cords, while "Self-Help from a
Three-Year-Old" collects such wisdom as "If you fall down, stay down.
Someone will pick you up eventually." Sweet, sincere, and oh-so-true, this

The Time Has Come: Why Men Must Join the Gender
Equality Revolution. Michael Kaufman, $22.95
From founding the White Ribbon Campaign, the world’s
largest organized effort of men working to end violence against women, in the
early 1990s, to his appointment as the only male member of the G7 Gender
Equality Advisory Council, Michael Kaufman has been a major figure in promoting
social justice and women’s rights for decades. Now, in The Time Has Come,
he issues a stirring call for men to mobilize in the movement for gender
equality.
Weaving together sociological data, personal experiences,
and insights gleaned from decades of work with governments and NGOs around the
globe, Kaufman explores topics ranging from domestic violence to parental
leave, grappling with the ways in which a culture of toxic masculinity hurts
women and men (and their children). Informative and provocative, The Time
Has Come demonstrates how real gender equality creates advancements in both
the workplace and the global economy, and urges men to become dedicated allies
in dismantling the patriarchy. |

Two Kisses for Maddy: a Memoir of
Loss & Love. Matthew Logelin, $19.50
Matt and Liz Logelin were high school
sweethearts. They settled together in Los Angeles, and they had it all: a
perfect marriage, a gorgeous new home, and a baby girl on the way. Liz's
pregnancy was rocky, but they welcomed Madeline, beautiful and healthy, into
the world on March 24, 2008.
Just twenty-seven hours later, Liz suffered a pulmonary embolism and died
instantly, without ever holding the daughter whose arrival she had so eagerly
awaited. Though confronted with devastating grief and the responsibilities of a
new and single father, Matt did not surrender to devastation; he chose to keep
moving forward, to make a life for Maddy.
In this memoir, Matt shares anecdotes of his life with Liz; of relying on his
newborn daughter for the support that she unknowingly provided; and of the
extraordinary online community of strangers who have become his friends. |
