Kindle Edition
Check current price
Non-Fiction - Parenting
Reviewed by Jennifer Senick for Readers' Favorite
Father, the More Loving One by Kiki Denis is a tender, poetic memoir told through the eyes of a daughter cherishing the memory and secret world she once shared with her father. The story unfolds in poignant vignettes like snowy nights, bedtime poems, and quiet lessons in kindness, love, and resilience. We follow young Kiki as she grows up in a small Greek village, nestled in the warmth of her father’s nightly rituals of poetry and song. Against the backdrop of a mother who doesn’t quite understand the sacred bond they share, Kiki and her father preserve a quiet world filled with Greek verses, dreams of Ithaca, and the “inner moonlight” that guides her long after his passing. The minimalist cover reflects the emotional quietness that runs through Denis’s poetic recollections. With a lyrical voice and reverence for language, Denis transforms ordinary moments into spiritual memories, revealing how love, once deeply felt, never truly fades.
In Father, the More Loving One, Kiki Denis offers more than a memoir; she delivers a heart-shaped gift wrapped in nostalgia and luminous prose. I could really relate to her ability to recall childhood emotions with such clarity, and the magic is breathtaking. It got me thinking about my relationship with my father, especially during my childhood, when we did magical things like walking in the woods, but said we were characters in Robin Hood. The book reads like an extended poem, where every sentence holds both personal truth and universal resonance. I was swept up in the intimacy of her inner world and moved by how she captures the softness of her father’s presence, wise, patient, and filled with quiet power. Kiki Denis doesn’t just write about her father; she makes us feel as though we knew him, too. This short book is a beautiful tribute to love, memory, and the secret lives we build to preserve the people we’ve lost. Father, the More Loving One is a book I’ll recommend to anyone who believes in the enduring glow of parental love and the quiet strength of poetry.

Raising Future Adults by David Krasky is a comprehensive guide for parents. Spanning topics from mental health to academic performance, the book offers practical strategies grounded in contemporary and everyday challenges. The author explores modern parenting dilemmas, such as the debate between helicopter and free-range parenting and the impact of screens on teen mental health. Chapters like “Helping Children Learn How to Self-Motivate and Persist Under Pressure” and “Just Wait: How Delaying Gratification Might be the Most Important Skill You Teach Your Children” provide actionable advice, emphasizing skills like executive functioning and emotional regulation. I appreciate how Krasky urges parents to let children feel their feelings and also promotes emotional resilience.

Non-Fiction - Parenting
Reviewed by Emma Megan for Readers' Favorite
Heads Up Mom by Lori Arnold is an essential book for every first-time mom, mainly about how their daily life will shift as their child grows through the first three years. Lori says that all the excitement around a new baby's arrival can put a first-time mom at a disadvantage from the beginning, especially when no one gives them a heads-up regarding the massive life changes and struggles a baby brings. In this book, new moms will learn about many changes, challenges, and chaos that may take them by surprise. Lori shares day-to-day realities, personal stories, advice, tips, tricks, and strategies to make the daily task of mothering easier. She discusses time reallocation, conflicting feelings, unrealistic or uncommunicated expectations, the importance of the division of labor, mental "tugs," self-care, shutting off mom-mode, mistakes any expecting couple can make, the pros and cons of transitioning to unpaid champion mom, and more.
Heads Up Mom is a thoughtful, helpful, and encouraging work that serves as a guidebook and a more honest, realistic look at motherhood. Lori Arnold holds first-time moms' hands while preparing them for the new life stage a baby brings and helping them avoid feeling guilty as if they're doing something wrong or not being good mothers. While this book arms new moms with tangible expectations and the not-so-glamorous realities of life with a baby, I highly appreciated the chapter on how to shift from Mr. and Mrs. to Mommy and Daddy, making it an essential read even for new fathers. All first-time moms will benefit from it as it aims to help them make their daily life with a little one easier.

Non-Fiction - Parenting
Reviewed by Divine Zape for Readers' Favorite
Watching Sarah Rise by Jennifer Celeste Briggs is a heartfelt and inspiring memoir that chronicles her journey as the mother of a daughter with autism, and the transformative power of love, patience, and the Son-Rise Program®. The book begins with Sarah's early struggles—delays in developmental milestones, challenging behaviors, and the emotional upheaval of diagnosis. Briggs shares her raw, honest experiences of exhaustion, grief, hope, and eventual empowerment as she learns to support her daughter through a combination of unconventional therapies, family dedication, and community support. Over time, Sarah's language, social skills, and independence progress illustrate the profound impact of a loving, child-led approach rooted in respect and connection.
My friend has a child with autism, and I have watched her struggle with him and watched the child develop as well. When I found Jennifer Celeste Briggs’ memoir, I said, “I must read this.” Thank heavens I picked it up and will be sharing it because it is packed with wisdom, love, and invaluable information and skills to help parents with children struggling with autism. This memoir introduces us to great people, including Briggs, her husband Carl, her daughter Sarah, and her supportive network of volunteers and professionals, who are vividly portrayed. Watching Sarah Rise is a memoir about acceptance of neurodiversity, the importance of trusting one's intuition, and the necessity of setting boundaries while maintaining unconditional love. I loved how Briggs looks at Sarah, not as someone physically limited, but as someone with possibilities. The central message advocates for a shift away from limiting expectations based on social norms to embracing each child's unique potential and honoring their way of thriving. This memoir is written in a compelling and compassionate voice and offers uplifting messages.

It offers various techniques, such as modeling empathetic behavior, practicing reflective listening, and creating a safe space for emotional expression. The guide underscores the importance of acknowledging children's feelings rather than diminishing them, expanding their emotional vocabulary, and engaging in activities like reading books with moral themes and role-playing to encourage perspective-taking. By promoting small acts of kindness and involving the family in volunteer work, parents can instill a compassionate mindset that extends beyond the home, influencing the broader community. Ultimately, the book emphasizes that teaching empathy is as much about skill-building as it is about leading by example and cultivating a caring environment.

By equipping parents and educators with tools to promote emotional intelligence and compassion, we can create a more understanding and respectful environment. Encouraging children to learn skills like conflict resolution, empathy identification, and about diverse cultures, religions, and family dynamics, helps them appreciate different perspectives and fosters a sense of connection in them.
