Genres: Children's Books
Of course as a child of the 80’s I LOVE STAR WARS! Han Solo was one of the first fictional characters I fell madly in love with at the age of 5. To this day, he is still one of my favorite heroes. I also fell in love with Darth Vader. I know it is strange but he is such an amazing villain! I think he is the BEST Villain of our generation. I am so excited and eager to share this obsession with my sons!!
The Darth Vader and Friends Collection by Jeffery Brown are my favorite Children’s Books right now. I am in love with them! I think they are so cute, so imaginative and so wonderful to paint our favorite villain as a wonderful father. I think if he had had the chance to be a father, he would have been amazing at it. These books will warm your heart, make you laugh and help make our children a new generation of Star Wars Fans.
I give them all 5 Out of this World Hearts!!
Good Night Vader
It’s bedtime in the Star Wars galaxy, and Darth Vader’s parenting skills are tested anew in this delightful follow-up to the breakout New York Times bestsellers Darth Vader™ and Son and Vader’s™ Little Princess. In this Episode, the Sith Lord must soothe his rambunctious twins, Luke and Leia—who are not ready to sleep and who insist on a story. As Vader reads, the book looks in on favorite creatures, droids, and characters, such as Yoda, R2-D2, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Maul, Admiral Ackbar, Boba Fett, and many others as they tuck in, yawn, and settle down to dream. As ever, Jeffrey Brown’s charming illustrations and humor glow throughout, playing on children’s book conventions to enchant adults and kids alike.

Charming take on parenthood for us all! Star Wars fans will love it and our kids will love it as well. The pictures are fun, childlike, and endearing, I am happy to be able to share this story with my boys.
Darth Vader and Son
What if Darth Vader took an active role in raising his son? What if “Luke, I am your father” was just a stern admonishment from an annoyed dad? In this hilarious and sweet comic reimagining, Darth Vader is a dad like any other—except with all the baggage of being the Dark Lord of the Sith. Celebrated artist Jeffrey Brown’s delightful illustrations give classic Star Wars® moments a fresh twist, presenting the trials and joys of parenting through the lens of a galaxy far, far away. Life lessons include lightsaber batting practice, using the Force to raid the cookie jar, Take Your Child to Work Day on the Death Star (“Er, he looks just like you, Lord Vader!”), and the special bond shared between any father and son.
Margie’s Review
I love this one so much! Father and son bonding at its best! Darth Vader and Son brings a smile to my face, warms my heart and tugs at my soul. Being the mother to two rambunctious boys, I see how they adore their dad and the father and son relationship told in this story is so endearing, you cannot help but love it. This book is adorableness in spades!
Vader’s Little Princess
In this irresistibly funny follow-up to the breakout bestseller Darth Vader and Son, Vader—Sith Lord and leader of the Galactic Empire—now faces the trials, joys, and mood swings of raising his daughter Leia as she grows from a sweet little girl into a rebellious teenager. Smart and funny illustrations by artist Jeffrey Brown give classic Star Wars moments a twist by bringing these iconic family relations together under one roof. From tea parties to teaching Leia how to fly a TIE fighter, regulating the time she spends talking with friends via R2-D2’s hologram, and making sure Leia doesn’t leave the house wearing only the a skirted metal bikini, Vader’s parenting skills are put hilariously to the test.

This Darth book simply stole my heart. I couldn’t possibly love it any more. This book reminds me of my father and I. When I first read it I cried at how sweet it was. It is the perfect book for all dad’s and daddy’s girls alike. It is hilarious and heartwarming. My favorite in the whole series so far. A wonderful tribute to the beautiful bond between a father and his daughter. I LOVE IT!!
