I've seen Bil Lepp in person and heard his fantastic stories, but this book goes beyond what I've seen him accomplish in front of a crowd. It's not only funny, it's moving and poignant; it reminds us of what we hoped to be as parents and the grand visions we had when we first held our baby. Bil reminds us of what we're capable of and how to get there--it's really simple, to play, to love, to cook, to listen, to have tradition, etc. A great book for any parent, whether just starting out or a veteran.
