In Daddy's Arms I Am Tall

In Daddy’s Arms I Am Tall
Illustrated by Javaka Steptoe
32 Pages

This is a collection of poems about individuals and their fathers. The poems discuss close relationships that these individuals have with their fathers. A few of the poems talk about how fathers are safe and secure. Other poems tell how fathers are idles or heroes.

Personal Rating-5

I think this might be my new favorite book. My dad means the world to me and I could relate to a lot of the poems in this book. Each poem is unique and describes why a dad is important to the person writing the poem. Fathers are a significant part of a person’s development and I think It’s neat that a book of poems has been put together to celebrate their significance.
