That poem became this story. Christian layered in beautiful and ethereal watercolor illustrations that capture the warmth, joy, and comfort of the relationship between fathers and sons from all walks of life; this representation was particularly important to me, and Christian and I worked closely to depict this special bond through an inclusive lens. My hope is that The Bench resonates with every family, no matter the makeup, as much as it does with mine.” You can pre-order The Bench on Amazon for $18.99, with a Jun. 8 delivery. ––Karly Wood RELATED STORIES Raffi Greets the New Day with His Children’s Book “Rise and Shine” 16 Books That Feature Asian American Heroes & Leads This Book Is an Antidote to Anti-Asian Racism & It’s Available Now
