The Modern Dad
Hugely popular Kiwi personality and content creator Louis Davis offers his advice on modern fatherhood in his signature warm and witty style.
Our ancestors crossed the ocean for us to achieve our wildest aspirations. Yet, in a world of relative abundance and seemingly endless choices, we face challenges like 'Has my kid been watching The Wiggles for too long?'
Louis Davis (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Whātua) is one of Aotearoa's most popular storytellers, with a combined global audience of three million people tuning in to see his heartfelt and funny videos about fatherhood, fishing and whānau life. But with several young children, Louis says his life as a stay-at-home dad is far from a model of perfect parenting: like everyone else, he can often feel like he's making it up along the way.
The Modern Dad is the book for everyone who is either already in the parenting trenches or has just found out they're going to have a child. In his signature kind, funny and low-key tone, Louis walks you through the 'Am I ready?' panic response (and no, no-one is ever truly ready) and offers a practical and empathetic guide on how to be a loving partner and parent.
From how to be helpful throughout the pregnancy stage and working out where to find your village, through to looking after yourself and your partner's mental health along the way, Louis tackles the big topics around both fatherhood and modern masculinity.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
