"Matthijs Kleyn writes in a loving and honest way about his son Cesar. Cesar was born 5 weeks to early, and turned out to have one blind eye. Matthijs writes about the hard moments of the pregnancy, and the beautiful moments as well."
This was such a moving book. The writing style of Matthijs Kleyn is vivacious and made me finish the book in one sitting. The love for Cesar radiates from every page I read.
I can't really say much more than this. I loved every page of this book. The pictures within the book makes it even better, such an adorable little kid is Cesar. What I also really loved, was that there were also bits of poetry in this book. I never read Dutch poetry before, but reading it in here, makes me want to give Dutch poetry a chance.
This is the first book I read by Matthijs Kleyn, and I'm really curious about his other work. I hope that this will be published in English in the (near)future!
I would definitely recommend this book for all fathers and mothers (to be)!
