Meghan Markle has written a children's book based on a Father's Day poem that she wrote for Harry (and Archie)
Meghan's first children’s book titled "The Bench" will be released on June 8. Meghan describes how the story started with a Father's Day poem that she wrote for Harry and Archie in 2019. The story reflects the beauty of a father's love for and bond with a child as told through the eyes of the child's mother.
The book is illustrated by Christian Robinson, who received a Caldecott Honor and a Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor for his art in Last Stop on Market Street. He is the author and illustrator of the picture books Another and You Matter, and he has illustrated many more, including Milo Imagines the World, Carmela Full of Wishes, and the Gaston and Friends series.
