With the outdoors as their classroom, full-time father Marc Parent finds that parenting is just as much about learning as teaching. Writing with humour, wisdom and honesty, he brings our own half-forgotten childhoods sharply back into focus with his vivid accounts of two small boys discovering the world.
In the course of ordinary life, Marc Parent uncovers extraordinary truths, of the blind self-acceptance of children, the awesome responsibility of parenthood, children's capacity for love, wonder and also cruelty, and their unerring ability "to uncover not what you know, but what you believe".
