    WELL I WAS A MOTHER AND I KINDA FELT THIS WAY
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2014*

Don't get me wrong.  I'm a ridiculously devoted parent... I am present emotionally, financially and superficially (their favorite version).  But kids are aliens.  Phillip is right.  People who devote their lives to their children (you know humblebragging through every situation -- even the most grown-up kinds), are insufferable.  This is an honest description of dealing with the alien and eventually realizing they belong.  His pictures are gorgeous.  How words are honest.  And his relationship with his wife is handled with the most beautiful longing.  Nice work Phillip.

    Cute kid, cute book
  

*by C***M on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2014*

I ordered this book because the little girl looks like & reminded me of my cousin (now a mom herself) when she was little.I was initially intrigued by the People write-up it received.It's a cute book, lighthearted and funny and sweet.Love the photos, the craziness of the dad's "humor" in printing screaming baby photo plates, and the Mom's chill response to it all (isn't that how it always is?)

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Parenting as a photographer shared
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2017*

This photobook works best side by side with the photographers other project, days with my father. The photographies are intimate and some funny but not quite representative for mr Toledanos best work.
