Actors Stephen Graham and Danny Dyer are among the fathers who have written letters to their sons, sharing personal reflections and advice. The collection also features contributions from other fathers, both well-known and otherwise.
Stephen Graham's letter to his son expresses profound love and appreciation, recalling his son's mischievous nature as a baby and his growth into a man who brightens a room. Graham highlights his son's qualities as a listener, his humility, and their shared sense of humour, including memories of playing football together.
Danny Dyer's letter to his son thanks him for his intelligence and ability to think logically. Dyer encourages his son to embrace masculinity while always being considerate, kind, and thoughtful towards others. He also advises his son to reject behaviour that devalues women.
The collection also includes a letter from a father in Ukraine, who reflects on the ongoing conflict and his reasons for staying in the country to fight with words.
