Here's an example: 'He'll run and he'll fall/ And he'll take it in stride'.........That just about sums up the skill-level involved here......
Only those with zero knowledge of the art of writing for children think they can knock off a picture book and thus add to their dazzling truth as a human being, a 'mother, wife, feminist and activist'. Or whatever.
So only those with zero knowledge of how increasingly hard it is nowadays for truly talented authors to get published will be able to read Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex's contribution without weeping – either with mirth or despair.
When a celebrity decides to dip his or her toe into the wonderfully rich world of children's books they can't expect a free pass when it comes to judgment There are certain standards – benchmarks, if you like – by which any writer has to be judged.
..Some kind of 'story' progression is necessary to keep a child's interest. Brilliant illustrations (as opposed to the rather twee, wishy-washy ones served up here) can help to carry the day.
The role of the father is made clear: he'll watch with pride as the child rides a bike, give comfort when he falls off, listen and 'be his supporter' (I think that's where the tutus come in), glue broken toys, be his 'giving tree' (that one puzzled me), give comfort when he's unhappy, tell him he's loved, celebrate with him, and he'll 'never be 'lone' (ouch – it's hard to make the words fit that pesky 'poem' format) on that useful bench.

cont’d exert....Throughout these pages the rather bossy narrator is telling Dad (aka My Love) what to do (You’ll tell him ‘I love you’) – and watches with ‘tears of joy’ from the window as he obeys her instructions.
And that is really the full extent of the story.
Meghans newest book already in the works:
” Royal Pu$$ie Rides High”
She will overcome every traditional obstacle using a liberal socialist racist rebranding in the media, of the entire British Royal Family.No moore stiff upper lip, tats racist. Instead the otherwise staid, disciplined royals need to be cast as over sensitive inbred, shaky, twitching dogs who cannot fire rifles accurately or weild traditional swords. The traditional crimson and gold has gone green and organic gardens take the place of the royal flower beds on the royal estates?
What a money making machine is Meghan , Princess of Thieves.
The Meghan sophomoric ideologue is exploring a brave new world of a nobility that has lost the Mandate of Heaven, unlike the present Queen who still has it.Megan assures that no successor will have it.
Exploited Pussies of the world UNTIE !
Poor Harry. He’ll wake up soon to a living nightmare.
He’s not a children?
You’ve missed the point... do try again.
Howdy doody and his puppet master
...”Poor Harry. He’ll wake up soon to a living nightmare”...
Oh I don’t know, he doesn’t appear to be very bright on a good day. About the best I could offer about the guy is he keeps digging his own ditch..and I’m being kind saying that.
They have not released any photos of their daughter yet...perhaps they’re waiting for someone to ask what color she is so they can do another TV special with Oprah?
We can only pray it is so. The dunderhead is enchanted by a siren witch.
Just ask Dr. Seuss. Oh wait, never mind.
I bet James Hewitt’s son, Harry, wept when he read this book.
How much of an advance did the publisher give her?
Don’t know..sufficient for me to know that Meghan and Harry are going to milk every venue they can before the air goes out of the balloon they’ve fooled everybody with that they are ‘special’.....they’re both far overrated individuals with an insane need to be photographed, interviewed and in the public eye...despite their claims otherwise. Such hypocrites! They actually define it in human form.
Who knows...but Harry’s got some serious mental issues like his mother did.
The trouble with Meghan Markle’s book? It isn’t for children - it’s for Prince Harry.
There’s a difference?
LOL..true that!
Yawn. Who cares?
Prince Harry is heading to be a Bruce Jenner. She is trying so hard to emasculate him.
I agree with every word to said. We rejected all things monarchy in 1776.
