Like DEAR MOTHER, DEAR DAUGHTER, the 25 poems here are meant to be read together by mother and daugther. These tender selections are written in two voices, and offer a sweetly emotional look at various milestones in a child's (and a parent's) life, such as the first day of school, a daughter's basketball game, discussions about staying out late, and graduation. Thomas's graceful phrasing and simple yet beautiful imagery make this a wonderful title for sharing.
