Clearly this book rides on Meghan Markle's name.....and not much more than that. Sure, it's sweet and I loved the emphasis on fathers! This is happening more often in children's books these days (which THRILLS me) but there isn't much substance to it. I find myself wanting more

There is wonderful diverse representation. (Fathers of all races and abilities).

A quick read about fathers and sons who sits on benches. It was a cute read.

Such a sweet book!

I loved the illustrations by Robinson. Markle and Robinson create an atmosphere filled with parental love. My heart was warm and whole reading this.

A coworker showed this book to me, otherwise I never would have picked it up. I think the illustrations helped the story. This book is definitely not my cup of tea.
