'Poems for Fathers' by Myra Cohn Livingston is an anthology work of poems for fathers. Some are about moments with fathers and some are about loss and sorrow. This is a book celebrating the connection between father and child which varies greatly in tone and temper.
The muted color artwork that uses black, red, and blue is a little off putting at times. It can be frightening for very young children so be aware of that if your child is easily impacted by such imagery.
All in all, this would be a fine book for children that don't have as much time with their father as is normal. If the father is missing, working long hours, or perhaps deployed overs sees this is a good book to use to help a child connect with them.
Who should read this book? Children with distant or lost fathers.
