Rookie Father Hardcover Book

What does it take to be a great dad when you never really had one to learn from?

Author Kendall Smith — raised by a single mother — wrote the book he wished he’d had. Rookie Father is a practical, honest, and often funny playbook for new dads navigating fatherhood without a reliable blueprint. Drawing from his own experience, conversations with other fathers, and interviews across generations, Smith delivers short, digestible lessons on the questions every new dad faces.

From choosing your parenting style to rethinking what it actually means to be the “man of the house” (spoiler: it’s not the 1950s) to managing your expectations as your child grows into their own person — this book meets you where you are and helps you become the dad you want to be.

• Short, practical lessons designed for busy new fathers
• Honest, relatable, and genuinely funny throughout
• Written by a father who figured it out without a role model
• Covers parenting style, family dynamics, and emotional expectations
• Hardcover

The mentor-in-a-book every new dad deserves — and one of the most thoughtful baby shower or Father’s Day gifts you can give.
