An emotional book that touches the heart strings of kids and adults alike, addressing the unique bond between a little girl and her daddy. To describe this story as moving would be an understatement, as it offers so much more. I read it to my daughter, and she loved it so much, and I could see how she immediately thought of her own daddy. Kids grow up fast, that is a fact! As their parents, we must realize that time flies and we need to spend more time with them.
My opinion:
As I read this book to my daughter, I remembered my own childhood and how much I enjoyed spending time with my dad. I often bond with my daughter through books, and I was so happy to come across this wonderful story. Emma is a little girl, who longs for a Forever Doll. Her daddy will make one out of cardboard, as he cannot afford to buy her the real doll. She will begin to play with it, developing strong feelings for her new friends. Unfortunately, cardboard is not durable. What will happen? You will have to read the book to find out.
All I can tell you is that there are few books that move me so much. Emma portrays all the kids in the world, teaching parents a very important lesson. Our little ones need our presence to feel love and express their love in return. My daughter is always craving the time spent with her daddy, so she could relate to the story so much. In the end, it all comes down to something that is simple. Kids might ask us for various toys, but what they are really asking for is us. The bond that we share with our little ones is reinforced through the time we spend together. I appreciated how the daddy in the story did his best to make more time for the things that mattered.
Such stories are highly likely to be remembered for many years to come. You cannot read “Cardboard Rosie” without feeling emotional and even crying, the good kind. How sweet is the connection between Emma and her daddy? You already know the answer! Even though I am not going to tell you how the story ends, I have to admit it. There is a happy ending! This book is a wonderful tribute to all the hard-working daddies, who are rushing through their workday, just to spend more time with their kids. It is well-written, and the illustrations are just adorable, bringing the story to life!
Verdict:
I loved this book so much, and so did my daughter! A feel-good story that brings forward the unique relationship between daddies and their kids, accompanied by illustrations that transmit so much emotion. The book overflows with love and kindness, and I think it represents the perfect bedtime read for a daddy and her daughter. Kudos to the writer for bringing a tribute to hardworking dads and showing what truly matters, the time we spend with our little ones. Read it with a box of tissues, as someone in a famous movie once said!
