BooK Review: Knock Knock: My Dad's Dream for Me by Daniel Beaty



"Product was received for free in exchange for an honest review."






Every morning, I play a game with my father.
He goes knock knock on my door
and I pretend to be asleep
till he gets right next to the bed.
And my papa, he tells me, "I love you."

But what happens when, one day, that "knock knock" doesn't come? This powerful and inspiring book shows the love that an absent parent can leave behind, and the strength that children find in themselves as they grow up and follow their dreams.


My Thoughts:

This is a short but bitter sweet story. It brought tears to my eyes reading it.  You could feel the love between this father and his son. There are 24 million children in America (one out of three) living without their biological father in their homes.  The author did a great job writing this.  This book was inspired from the authors personal experience of which he grew up with his father incarcerated.  Because it is a short story I will not go into much detail, as to not give the story away before you read it.

This book can be purchases in hard or e book @ amazon.com.

Also be sure to add this good to your to read list on goodreads.
