A collection of Brian Canini's daily journal comics from March 2016 to December 2016 with an introduction by Amy and Brian Canini.The follow up to Brian's award-winning book, The Big Year. It chronicles the next big chapter in Brian's life and all the joys of a newborn baby. "An author as generous as Brian gives us not only glimpses of his own life, but provides the reader with a surrogate rhythmic space in which to catch and restore their own breath; inhaling with suspense and excitement and exhaling in relief and recognition. The interplay of line and shape, the inclusion of punctum-esque ephemera; drawings, letters, photographs, as well as every crossing-out and reveal of the underdrawings express the unexpected twists and turns of the storytelling grid when devotion to authenticity and open heartedness are its narrating voice. When I hold Brian's book, I am filled with a great comfort that love may be shared with ink. I am not only grateful for his existence as a human being in this world, but also for acquiring a deeper appreciation of the medium's possibilities and gravitating closer to every other book I have already read and will read. These are real places. " - Keren Katz(The Academic Hour, The Backstage of a Dishwashing Webshow)"I'm always entertained by Brian's comics. He allows you to live vicariously through him, which can be just fine depending on how good or bad your own life turned out..." - Noah Van Sciver (Fante Bukowski, One Dirty Tree)
