Crawling – Elisha Cooper
Crawling—a new book by Elisha Cooper—tracks “a father’s first year.” At times both poignant and funny, Cooper writeslike we all wish we could.  This is a good book for dads looking back on the first year, since as a father-to-be, it’s not as easy to identify with how sappy a man can become once he has a baby.
