• Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex’s first children’s book, The Bench, beautifully captures the special relationship between father and son, as seen through a mother’s eyes. The book’s storytelling and illustration give us snapshots of shared moments that evoke a deep sense of warmth, connection, and compassion.

This is your bench
Where you’ll witness great joy.
From here you will rest
See the growth of our boy.

Christian Robinson beautifully illustrates in watercolor for the first time, bringing joy and tenderness to the pages, and reminding us of the universal message of a father's love. This heartfelt read-aloud is sure to be cherished for generations.
