Just kidding…. if you’re concerned about parenting then you’re on the right road, stay the course. All kids are so different that any one book will not cover everything, you’ll always end up on Google. Take a first aid class. Save your money on parenting books and stock that kid’s library instead. Dr. Seuss is fabulous.

I have a whole bookshelf of parenting books.
The ones I kept on coming back to the most was “Raising your spirited child” by Mary Sheedy Kercinka
Hehe might say more about the kind of kids I have, than on what kind of book is the most helpful.
And if you have more than one kid “Siblings without rivalry” Adel Faber and Elaine Mazlish.
I can honestly say my adult children do not have any rivalry. They celebrate each other’s accomplishments and lift each other up when times are challenging. They see themselves as on the same team (it really helps that they are completely different too, so no overlapping interests to compete with lol)

I really like the “Your (age) Year Old” series by Louise Bates Ames. I’ve only read one and two, but they’ve been really helpful in understanding where my kid is developmentally and how to handle that.
