"My 11-year old daughter and I read "Dear Daughter". I found the message uplifting and the images pretty, but as she is in some dark preteen phase her interpretation was quite different.

Her take-aways were that "the girl has a LOT of curly hair so how does she ever get out all the knots?". She also discussed the practicalities of being a literal book and how she would be wary of that kind of exposure.

I'm grateful for the story and illustrations as it has led to continuing conversations.
