New Dad

In awe and wonder of what's to come

Brand: Willow Tree® by DEMDACO
Part Number: 26129

Celebrate one of life's greatest milestones with Willow Tree® New Dad, a heartfelt sculpture by acclaimed artist Susan Lordi that beautifully captures the awe, wonder, and unconditional love of becoming a father. Tenderly portraying a father cradling his newborn child, this timeless figurine reflects the quiet emotions of those first precious moments—when hopes, dreams, and a lifetime of memories begin.

Designed to honor the unique bond between father and child, New Dad expresses the deep sense of responsibility, protection, and overwhelming joy that accompanies welcoming a new baby into the world. The father's gentle embrace reflects the promise of guidance, strength, and unwavering love that will continue to grow throughout every stage of life.

Like every Willow Tree® sculpture, New Dad is intentionally designed without detailed facial features, allowing each family to see their own story reflected within the piece. Susan Lordi's signature hand-carved style communicates emotion through simple gestures, creating a keepsake that becomes deeply personal to both the giver and the recipient.

Susan Lordi beautifully explains the philosophy behind the Willow Tree® collection:

"Willow Tree® is a reminder of someone we want to keep close, or a memory we want to touch... I like for the viewer to become a participant in the understanding of the piece. It makes it more personal for the giver and the receiver to envision what or whom they want."

Each Willow Tree® figurine begins as an original hand-carved sculpture by Susan Lordi in her Kansas City studio before being cast in resin and individually hand-painted. The soft neutral tones and timeless craftsmanship make New Dad a beautiful addition to any nursery, family room, office, or keepsake collection.

Standing 6 inches tall, New Dad is a meaningful reminder that fatherhood begins not only with a child's birth, but with the love, devotion, and lifelong commitment that follow.
