This is a deeply touching and beautifully written exploration of love, connection and the quiet yet powerful bond between parent (mainly The Father) and a child. With heartfelt tenderness, author captures the universal emotions that come with growing up, drifting apart and realizing how important it is to reach back—to call, to listen and to care.

There is lot to learn from a father but personally I lost that learning midway when I lost him. Every that learning is much more important than any education we got in schools and colleges, about life-lessons. I remember calling him for everything whenever I felt alone and frightened or lack confidence. He was always there with me along with my Mother. No bond, I believe, can ever be as important and valuable as the one between parents and their children.

The poetry is simple yet profound, making each page resonate with honesty and warmth. It reminds readers that family relationships, especially between fathers and their children, evolve but never lose their emotional core. The author’s gentle storytelling and empathetic tone make this book both comforting and thought-provoking. Though, for the illustrations, the hairs of a child are changing from brown to black to reddish, this should have been carefully observed and corrected before publishing.

It’s a rare gem that speaks to readers of all ages—whether you’re a child learning to appreciate your parent, or an adult rediscovering that bond from afar. "Call Your Father" is a must-read—one that lingers in your heart long after the final page, urging you to pick up your life and reconnect, of possible for lucky ones.

Absolutely precious! I love that this shows you can always call your dad, no matter your age or circumstance. As a daddy's girl, I particularly love this book. As a mother, I am happy to see a book that promotes the importance of dad's role in a kid's life also. So many books are mommy-focused that this book is extra special.

This book is very touching. How can a children's book be this sad?
From the main character, a baby boy, until he grows up to become a father, he continues to call out for his father.
It's a truly spine-tingling ending to me.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do that!

I loved this book! This would be a wonderful gift for a baby shower or even Father’s Day/Christmas as a present for dad. It was so sweet to see this bond of father and son and the importance of the father’s role in his son’s life. As a mother to two small children it of course had me in my feelings at the end. Beautiful!! Also the touch of the stuffy throughout was a precious touch.

FINALLY a book that celebrates generations of dads! I would say that I enjoyed reading this as an adult and am not certain that young children will understand the story. The illustrations are fantastic and I loved the story. I'd definitely get this for every father in your life.

The most beautiful illustrations to this heartfelt storyline. I will be buying this book as gifts for the new fathers in my life.
