So so so cute!! ————- So, I'm a serious proponent of not rating books you haven't read - I even have an entire separate shelf to avoid this - but I'm making an exception because I'm so sick and tired of the cruelty Meghan Markle receives for literally anything and everything she does. I saw one review......more

Read brief excerpt made available for preview. Thoughtful and sweet poem from a wife to her husband and the father of her child. Just in time for Father’s Day. There’s tons of content for mothers. Always a treat to find father and son content. Also, Meghan is a terrific writer. I’ve read other piece......more

A nice enough story about fathers and sons sitting on various benches to share a moment together. It's a nice book, a positive book and I like the illustrations. Good to have happiness in family relationships celebrated and lovely to see some rescue hens in this story.......more

Great job to the illustrator!! However, the text is laughable for Meghan to be called "an author". Bad wording & no storyline. I do believe it's an emotional and rather personal poem she wrote for Harry but it should have been kept that way. Such a project would have never come to life with another......more
