A Father's First Year
Elisha Cooper
Whether your baby's birth was 20 years ago or just last week, the opening pages of this jewel of a book will bring the drama of those hours back to you, pulling you in and reminding you how everything changed from that day forward.
In Crawling Elisha Cooper chronicles his first year with Zoe with wit, humility, humor, and tenderness. An author and illustrator, he spends his days alone with Zoe while his wife works toward her Ph.D. in Psychology. We settle into the twosome's routines, appreciate the changes in seasons, the evolution from newborn to toddler, and new father to one irrevocably connected, occasionally mystified, and eternally in love with his baby daughter. This is a book you will not want to end -- not only because of the refreshing grace, innocence, beauty, and, yes, bumblings of that first year, but also because you just don't want Zoe and Elisha to change after getting to know them so intimately.
Most of us don't have the time to chronicle our baby's first year, and certainly not with the talent of a writer such as is Elisha Cooper. But thank heaven he has done what we are too tired or too frazzled to do: capture those once-in-a-lifetime first months in a way that reminds us how very amazing the father-child connection can be.
