What do you need to know about love and football? What really happened to your plastic giraffe? How do you find the team you belong to? Why can a dad sometimes hold his son's hand too tightly? "What My Son Needs to Know About the World is one of Fredrik Backman's debut works. It is a funny and touching story in essays and notes written by a father to his young son, and perhaps to himself. It's a light and ironic book about fatherhood, fears and mistakes, silly situations and life rethinking, and also about love. Because so often it becomes a point of support in this imperfect world. In the book, the author shares his own reflections and life lessons about parenthood that his baby gave him: sleepless nights, poopy nappies, car seats, lullabies, rules of child nutrition and development. And how much more is yet to come: friends, growing up, life adventures... Some of these life lessons relate to his experience as a parent raising a child, others to how to survive months/years of sleep deprivation.
