In Daddy's Arms I Am Tall is a delightful collage poetry and mixed media...the poetry is rich and varied, celebrating with humor and style the lives of children and their fathers....[The poetry] lends power and meaning to the images and is reason enough to include this book in one's library. In Daddy's Arms I Am Tall is a must see and read for both young readers and their parents. -- Quarterly Black Review
