Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Opinions are mine.

This book has good messages to a daughter from a mom. It has a good point, but honestly, I think these messages and thoughts should come from a mom herself, not from a book.

A very cute, inspiring, heartwarming, encouraging, children's book filled with collections of letters that are tips to someone's child. This book should absolutely be read to the little ones, before their bedtimes. A lot of these tips have been said or written down before, which is fine. The illustrations accompanying the text goes well together. This book teaches children to cherish their friends, take care of the Earth, love themselves, that it is okay for things to be imperfect, to work as a team, and much, much more! I enjoyed reading this book and I don't want nor do I have kids but I will make sure that my nieces and nephews get copies of this book.

As it says, a love letter from a mother to a daughter, reminding the child to be environmentally thoughtful, kind, polite, and to cherish the chance of fun, friendship and celebrating her uniqueness. It's in a decent place between collection of bland platitudes and something more distinctive, such as the Sunscreen song, and the visuals add to the obviousness of it all without going too far. There's also a final page for a personalised lesson to be passed down, as if the generic notelets and passages so far aren't relateable enough. I've seen these things done a lot worse – three and a half stars.

Letters to My Daughter is a lovely book with gorgeous illustrations and a heartfelt message. It is beautifully created with colouring designs on each page that urge you to turn the page and see what's next.

This book was everything I would have loved to hear growing up. And I would recommend it to anybody with a daughter in their life.

This book is a reminder to just live fully and stand in your truth. That there’s value in you & so much more.

I loved the imagery & the colors. The way photos were vibrant and each page had a different story to tell.

And the final page, it sealed the deal.

I volunteered to ready an ARC of this book through NetGalley.

I liked the message this book sends to mothers and daughters. It emphasizes the importance of setting aside time to express their love and support for one another. By writing letters to one another, it creates a private and safe space to share their thoughts and feelings. I liked that the lessons from the mother were valuable to her daughter's growth as a young girl.


I received an advanced review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Such an uplifting, sweet book! Perfect for a mom to gift her daughter especially when she has to be away from her. The illustrations are so pretty and will be very appealing to little ones.

I absolutely love these huge life lessons that this dad is giving to his daughter through letters! The text is simple and the lessons are explained appropriately for children to understand.

This is such a powerful and special book! The illustrations and so pretty and girly! Any young girl would enjoy this book. And any parent would appreciate it.

Nobody writes letters anymore, but wouldn't the world be a better place if we did? Instead of just collecting junk, we can collect memories and loving words from people we are attached to. This book is a beautiful collection of letters from a parent to a child with one blank letter at the end that you can personalize every time you read the book together.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

What a darling story about the most important lessons in life! This is a book I wish I would’ve had as a little girl, and one I’ll definitely be ordering for my sweet girl when it comes out this spring.

Not only did I love the story, I loved the illustrations. As a mother, this puts into words what I would say to my daughters! Well written and cute!

Letters to My Darling Daughter was a sweet, heartwarming compilation of all the things I want to make sure that my daughter knows. The pictures and the words are attention grabbing and kept my interest throughout the book. The poignant and thoughtful sentiments shared were good for my mama heart and are the scripts of the feelings and thoughts I want my daughter to hear, know and carry with her as she grows. I will be purchasing this for my daughter once it is released. This would make a perfect valentines or birthday gift for daughters from their mamas (or dads!).

This colourful novel was so very encouraging and important.

I have a daughter and sometimes it can be hard to tell her everything and ensure it sinks in, so this book is a good segway into important conversations.

I liked how the story was actually different letters in envelopes. The theme was cohesive.

There were dogs in it, which is bonus points for my daughter.

I loved how there was a notebook page at the end to put in your own personal message to your daughter. Nic touch.

This book is great for encouraging your daughter and letting her know how special and unique she really is.

Read it with my 9 years old daughter and explained to her how mother’s feeling to each of their kids.

This is thoughful letter for the meaning of life. I am a mom for growing daughter, and i feel the same way what the letters mentioned about life. As our daughter grown up, we will always thinking of them no matter what, eventhough they have their own life. We told our daughter to encourage small things in life, be brave, taking risk and cherish the moments of pure joy. We want our daughter to be kind not for the relationship between us, but for pets and nature.

Letters to My Darling Daughter had wonderful and beautiful illustrations. While reading these pages, I imagined my own mom writing a letter to me as I went off to college. This book seems perfect to read to your children as they grow up, reminding them how powerful and loved they are.

This sweet, short book is filled with bold illustrations of girls and their families. Each page pairs an illustration with a letter from a grownup. The letters may be from a parent who misses her or someone who wants to give a gentle reminder or affirmation.

This would be a nice book to read at bed or while snuggling your favorite girl. It also makes a great gift, as there's a page at the end to write your own letter to your daughter.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

This book is absolutely adorable. Each page is a little note/life lesson for not only daughters, but all children. Messages about loving your body, your self, your friends, and the Earth are communicated in easy to understand text and beautiful illustrations. I can't wait to use this as inspiration to write a quick letter to my own darling daughter and son.

Letters To My Darling Daughter is a sweet story with messages to empower young children. The messages throughout the book are universal and focus on qualities any parent would want their child to posses. The book would make a sweet gift and would make the perfect book to share with your daughter during story time.
