"Regina Noel Downing and Mathew Havran have done it again! They've produced a touching, insightful, thought-provoking book from the perspective of a child who hopes to help their parents understand what it's like to be young and what they need to feel loved and supported. This book is a must-read for all parents. It's a lovely reminder that at the end of the day, time with family means everything.
Dear Mom & Dad has a beautiful rhythm and can be read as a song, making it even more special for the littles. The pictures are jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Mathew has an incredible talent for capturing emotion in his work. His pictures portray diversity and inclusion and his art is sure to be enjoyed by parents and children alike.
Dear Mom & Dad will be my go-to book gift for all expectant parents in the future. I wish someone would have given it to me!
Be prepared for a few tears, some goosebumps, and deep introspection as you read or sing this story. The words are simple, but the message is truly impactful."
