Kiwi comedian and personality Louis Davis offers his advice on modern fatherhood in his signature warm and witty style.


A love letter to modern fatherhood and being a stay-at-home dad by one of NZ's most popular story tellers.

Louis Davis (Ngapuhi, Ngati Whatua) is one of Aotearoa's most popular storytellers, with a combined global audience of three million people tuning in to see his heartfelt and funny videos about fatherhood, fishing and whanau life. But even with three young children, Louis says his life as a stay-at-home dad is far from a model of perfect parenting: like everyone else, he can often feel like he's making it up along the way.

The Modern Dad is the book for everyone who's either already in the parenting trenches or has just found out they're going to be a father. In his signature kind, funny and low-key tone, Louis walks you through the 'Am I ready?' panic response (and no, no-one is ever truly ready) and offers a practical and empathetic guide on how to be a loving partner and parent.


From how to be helpful throughout the pregnancy stage to the most important values for your children, through to how to look after you and your partner's mental health along the way, Louis tackles the big topics around both fatherhood and modern masculinity.©2026 Louis Davis (P)2026 W. F. Howes ltd
