About The Book

If you are reading this manual then you have decided to take on one of life's most difficult challenges ...

Training a dad.

We'll start with the basics, like tea parties and bear hugs. Soon you'll unlock trickier features, like dad jokes.(But be careful - some of these features are hard to switch off!) You'll also learn tips and tricks for dealing with the most common glitches known to dads.

By the end of this manual, you'll be equipped with a fully trained dad.

Good luck!

About The Illustrator

credit to come

Noemie grew up in a small coastal town in New Brunswick, Canada, never far from the ocean. Since childhood, she has been torn between two dreams: becoming a doctor and illustrating children’s books—and eventually chose both.

Today she balances her life as a rheumatologist with her work in her home studio, where she draws and paints with her three kids often playing (or “helping”) nearby, and her cat supervising from a safe distance. She works both digitally and traditionally, creating engaging illustrations, usually with a funny twist!
