Dear Child, Once upon a time, Your dads wanted to have a baby. It was a life-long dream of ours. We were always hopeful. Lambda Literary and Stonewall Book Award-winner Hasan Namir shares a joyful collection about parenting, fatherhood and hope. These warm free-verse poems document the journey that he and his husband took to have a child. Between love letters to their young son, Namir shares insight into his love story with his husband, the complexities of the IVF surrogacy process and the first year as a family of three. Umbilical Cord is a heartfelt book for parents or would be parents, with a universal message of hope.

Rounding out Pride Month: This is a book of free text verse by and about an Iraqi Canadian man, his husband, and their infant son. Surprising that free verse poetry in an audiobook could be this good. The narrator brought just the right emotion to the reading. Poems were deeply personal, heartfelt and compelling. ARC review, audiobook out now.

Adult content: a few poems use frank sexual language.

5🌟 Umbilical Cord is a heartening and refreshing collection about parenthood. I absolutely adored this book! These free verse poems gives us a look at Namir's and his husband's journeys to becoming parents. Books like this are so necessary, society needs representation of all families and their journeys. A beautiful read, and a wonderful tribute of love. #bookreview #poetry #canlit
