This book has struck chords in very many of us.
Many fathers have told their own stories.
This is a simple and simply special story.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　By Rosella Postorino,Einaudi Stile Libero Editor

★The daily magic of being a father. The wonder of little things, the beauty of life itself. A literary phenomenon, over 50.000 copies sold!
★Matteo Bussola has three little girls, a wife and a (female) dog. For two years he has been writing about their adventures on Facebook.
★Thousands of people read, comment on them and share them. Some of the stories make us laugh, others pose questions. One was read by over 500 thousand people, going viral. All of them, without exception, strike a chord within us. The light of an autumn afternoon with one daughter curled up
asleep on top of you, the other two singing as they play.

The nights spent working and the ones spent sitting up at the　girls’ bedsides. The unexpected questions that force you to look　for the right words. The messy plaits, shoelaces to be tied, the　tickling competitions, kisses at all hours. These are the moments of　normality that will never be the same again and that Matteo Bussola　captures in his delicate and often ironic writing. The father of three　little girls, he manages to reflect the amazement in their view of life,　the same way he himself has tried to observe the world ever since
they were born.
Crazy conversations, amusing scenes of domestic life, thinking　done on the spur of the moment. In the “habit of staying home”　unexpected freedom is to be found; through the little motions of　everyday life comes the discovery of how much poetry there is in　being a father.

Matteo Bussola. In his past life he was　an architect. At the age of thirty-five　he decided everything would change.　Today he is father to Virginia, Ginevra　and Melania and draws cartoons for　a living. When he has ink to spare, he　writes. He has a Facebook profile read by　thousands of people, where he has been　publishing stories, reflections and short　accounts of family life for some years　now. In 2016 Einaudi Stile Libero will be　publishing his first book.
