Beautiful
beautiful poetry about father and son's relationship, I love the sense of the father being the giving tree to the son who goes through different stages of life and its challenges. The book is beautifully designed, full of colours and representing diversity as much as possible. Meghan's voice makes the reading even better.

Heartwarming and Incredibly Lovely
Beautiful story about a father-son bond. Very touching and heartwarming. It is incredibly soothing and well narrated. Absolutely love it. My 3 and 5 year olds were absolutely captivated by this lovely story.

Lovely little poem book.
I'm glad Duchess Meghan decided to publish this poem she wrote for her son Prince Archie and her husband Prince Harry. It's a short and sweet and she has such a soothing voice.
I think some reviewers would do well to remember this is a book for CHILDREN, not a novel! Secondly, nobody has been forced to buy this. If you hate Meghan, why take time out of your day to buy the book just to leave a bad review? Very odd.
