Great coffee table book, and an important reminder.

I was given a copy of this book by my sister Amy for Christmas this year. I have two little daughters and she obviously understands the importance of a Dad in her life and wanted me to as well.
This is not a deep read, just photos and short bits of wisdom. However, that's not to say it isn't emotionally resonating. I had tears in my eyes while reading and thinking about the role I have in my two daughter's lives. It is humbling and wonderful at the same time.
If you have daughters, or know someone who does, then this book is a simple reminder of the important role that fathers play in the healthy development of their female children. A great coffee table, or end table, book to serve as a gentle reminder of the responsibility of caring for a daughter.

Makes a good greating card

This reads like a nice greeting card but if you are looking for some insight on father/daughter relationships don't buy this "book". Each page contains only a sentence or two and a nice photo. This would make an excellent gift to the new father so I guess it has some value.

Perfect gift

This is a perfect gift for a new dad. Pair it up with the book "Why a Daughter Needs a Mom: A Hundred Reasons". My first grandchild was recently born and I gave the new parents these books. The hundred reasons are all very sweet and very true and remind us of all the roles a parent plays in a child's life.

Made Me Cry

I saw this book in a magazine and thought it would be the perfect birthday gift for my dad. It is a really cute and sentimental book. He loved it. It's a lot longer than I expected it to be and it gets slightly redundant at the end but it's a great gift for a dad.

Daughters and Dads

My daughters bought this book for my husband for Father's Day; he was so moved by each sentiment that when his friend's wife gave birth to their first child a few days later (a girl!), my husband asked me to get this book to give to the new parents. He felt that it was the most profound gift for the occasion, not just for now but for future years, to be read and re-read at all stages of their daughter's life. If these pages don't touch your heart as you read each one.....you need to visit a cardiologist to make sure you still have a beating, functional heart! And I recommend the companion book to be purchased with this one - a perfect set; "Why a Daughter Needs a Mom"

It's OK at best

I read this one in less then an hour. It's basically a lot of fluff and no substance for parenting advice with your daughter. It's good enough for a coffee table book in my opinion, but not a resource by any means.

A Must Buy For Parents

This is a wonderful book to give to an older daughter. I went through and added my own comments to personalize it for her.

This is a beautiful book

I bought this book for my husband in anticipation of our adopted daughter from China. For starters, I was thrilled that the photographs showed multicultural, multigenerational fathers and daughters including a photograph of a white father with an Asian daughter.

The sentiments inside are beautiful. If you're looking for a self-help book, this isn't it. If you're looking for short, single sentences of wisdom and encouragement accompanied by moving and beautiful photographs, this is your book.

I found this book in Target and must admit I was a little embarrassed by the tears streaming down my face when I read it. It reminded me of my own father, a true inspiration, and how my husband will be as a father once we bring our daughter home. This is a wonderful Father's Day, birthday, or Christmas present for any father from any daughter.
