Some letters are written to be read immediately. These were written to be read years later.On the second day of his twin daughters' lives, a father began writing to them from a NICU corridor and kept writing through sleepless nights, festivals, lullabies and first sounds. Letters I Wrote When You Couldn't Read gathers twelve of those letters. Each is built around something he hopes to pass on: music, joy, fearlessness, curiosity about the world, and the faith and family that hold them. Rooted unapologetically in Odia life and culture, the letters move from the fragile first days to five months, then close with a glimpse of the girls at almost five. Each letter is paired with a Workbook of gentle prompts that invite other parents to write letters of their own. That makes the book a beginning for your family as well as a keepsake of his. For new parents, parents of twins, and anyone who has ever wanted to tell a child what they could not yet understand.
