Giving your daughter advice

I loved this book. It was very touching and more special since it was written by a father. This book list 100 reasons why a daughter needs her mom or someone she may call mom. Some of my favorite reasons listed in the book were...A Daughter Needs A Mom to provide her with memories that last a lifetime, to remind her to say nice things when she talks to herself, to give her the courage to stand up for herself, to catch her when she falls, to prepare her for what she will face when she leaves home, that sometimes choosing to wait is a good idea, to tell her not to let pride get in the way of forgiving someone, to encourage her to be grateful, to not wait until tomorrow to say I'm sorry, to laugh as much as possible, to put a smile on her face, to teach her that she is responsible for her own happiness, to teach her that you cannot start a life over but you can change the way it ends and lastly but not least to tell her grudges are too burdensome to carry. These are just a few of my favorite reasons listed in the book. This is a book that every mother or father needs to give to their daughters as a reminder of how blessed they are to have a mom. And to moms to know how blessed they are to have daughters.

This is adorable, and if ever I have a daughter this will be a definite gift to her. The format is simple, it's straightforward, and, to be honest, the introduction by Lang is at least as good as the text in terms of his willingness to say yes, he isn't part of what he's talking about--but that doesn't mean he doesn't know.
This was a gift to me from my own mother, and I give it three stars because I can't read it without the lens of my relationship with her, which...well, it doesn't fulfill all 100 reasons, I'll put it that way. That frustration colors my reading of it, sadly. It is a good book, though, and I definitely recommend it for daughters and moms--and dads.

This book is so beautiful!
Amazing messages!
Wonderful pictures of moms and daughters!

A daughter need a mom...
Because there are some things a dad just can't handle.
To provide her with moments that will last forever.
To remind her on the bad days that she is not alone.
Who shares with her the wisdom of generations.
To love her for who she is.
To remind her hat there is a rainbow after every storm.

All LANG's books are great. They just have quotes and pictures but I love to sit and read them becuase his quotes are different in "Why a Daughter Needs a Dad" than in "Why a Son Needs a Dad." This authors knows that parents do different things for each of their children, and children get different things from their moms than their dads.

This book is great for all mothers. It would be great to read to their children. Mothers can read it to boys , but just explain to them that a son needs a mother too. I would have this book in my family bin. It is just a smooth and soothing book for children who maybe missing their mom. I would have students draw a picture of themselves with their mommy.

It was a great experience reading it to my 2 year-old daughter. She loved the pictures, I loved the quotes. They are so true. I definitely am going to read it again and again.
