Things My Son Needs to Know about the World

Things My Son Needs to Know about the World by Fredrik Backman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I stumbled across Backman's "The Deal of a Lifetime" a couple Christmases ago. His writing about a father and son was so poignant that I was so excited to read his latest book about things that his son needs to know about life and soccer and how much Backman loves his wife. I loved it. I don't relate to all of it, but I relate to the idea of all the things Backman shares. Because of the transition to stay home with my son, I don't have much book money, but I'd love to own this one someday. I think I'd read it regularly and eventually write my own version for Hudson.

So good even if you're not in the stage of parenting young children, but probably not a five star if you don't have "new mom" goggles on.

Happy reading and happy parenting--
