To My Daughter with Love is a collection of poetry and art created by Susan Polis Schutz and Stephen Schutz as a tribute to their daughter. Written with a kind of free style verse, the poems detail the hopes and dreams the parents have for their daughter, both when she was young and as she leaves for college.
While obviously cheesy, To My Daughter with Love serves its purpose as a gift book from mother to daughter. The poems are touching and have many universal themes. The sentiment of independence and being able to stand alone was especially nice, as it expresses a dream for a daughter that many mothers from that age were just exploring themselves.
Not for everyone, but worth checking out if you are looking for a graduation gift for show more your daughter or maybe a gift for a new mother. show less
