One rule, not 100 tricks.

Both books hand you a single mental model instead of a checklist you’ll never remember.

Read in a nap.

24 and 32 pages, written to be finished in one sitting. No fluff, no filler.

Illustrated by a real artist.

Warm gouache picture-book art on every spread — because parenting resources shouldn’t look like tax forms.

REAL DAD, NOT AN EXPERT

Written by a dad, not an expert.

I’m not a pediatric nutritionist. I’m not a screen-time researcher. I’m a father of two who spent years turning dinner into a negotiation and evenings into iPad standoffs — before finding simpler approaches that actually worked.

Neither book is built from theory. They’re built from hundreds of ordinary family meals, real mistakes, and two nights I remember exactly: a pasta dinner that ended in tears, and the night the iPad got turned off mid-meltdown.

— Trent Trillaby

"So many frustrating nights of standing over the sink finishing my son's leftovers LOL! This book gets it. So far so good. Got my 7-year old to try two new veggies this month. Small victories!"

— Beth, Colorado Springs, CO

"Been just gritting my teeth and gutting through tantrums and staring matches at dinner. This book is a lifeline. Best part is he talks to you like parent and doesn't lecture."

— Stephen, Pensacola FL

"Good, practical guide for those of us "blessed" with picky eaters. Still takes patience but the advice is sound!"

— Ruthie, St. Louis MO
