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.

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.

A warm, heartfelt depiction of Father/Son bond
A beautifully illustrated book, carefully written to guide the reader into the world of a Father and Son bond, forged through parenthood. The rhyming words carry the reader, gently through an atmospheric journey. You are left knowing they can always return to the Bench where they have each other, despite life adversities. Children loved it, and will be a staple regular read in our Home.
