#1 Understanding Your Baby by Ayelet Marinovich
My best-selling book, Understanding Your Baby, is a new parent’s guide for playing with their baby. It breaks down development and simple, natural play activities that support various areas of early learning. Many new fathers report that during the early days, weeks, and even months, it can be difficult or less “natural” to bond with their young baby.
Many fathers want high quality, research-based information about what they can do to support their baby during his or her first year of life, but struggle to find and make use of this information. This book is great for new dads because it provides easy-to-read (even for sleep-deprived parents!), to-the-point, empirical and evidence-based information, followed by a “what-you-can-do” section with easy-to-follow ideas for dads to do each week with their infants.

#2 The Fun Book of Fatherhood by Jerry Cammarata
A charming resource and terrific learning tool for children, the central theme of The Fun Book of Fatherhood is that humans should emulate their counterparts in the animal kingdom when raising their children. By looking at how the animal kingdom raises its young, readers can learn how to be incredibly accepting of each other, their diversity, and of the individuality of parenting.
Dr. Cammarata drives home the point that parents must be role models, not teachers, to best full fill the psycho-social- academic- cultural needs of our children. The revised edition also expands the book with a prologue and epilogue about the current state of affairs on parenting globally and ways to proactively reach out to legislators on the issues of parenting and paid family leave.
