The Swedish Dad is 21 men.
For the first time ever there is a photo book all about the heartwarming relations between Swedish dads and their children. Readers will live the experiences of a dad in a country where men are no longer trapped in the breadwinner role. With 480 days paid parental leave (that is 16 months!) Sweden has something special going on when it comes to parenthood. It is no wonder the streets are crowded with proud papas pushing baby strollers. In The Swedish Dad photo book, 21 dads will give you a glimpse into their every day life and tell you what it is like being a father in their own words.
Coming 2012. More information soon.The Swedish Dad will be available in English, Japanese and German.
