Graham, together with psychologist Orly Klein, will work on the creation of the book “Letters to our Sons”. It will be published by Bloomsbury next October.
“The gap between fathers and sons may be greater now than ever before. We want to hear from men of all ages: first-time fathers, fathers who are no longer fathers, fathers who have been through it but never really been there, fathers who have lost someone, and fathers who just want to find a way to say ‘I love you’, tell their sons what they mean to them, and talk openly about what it means to be a man.”said the actor.
Parents can send letters to sons from October 15 to January 12, 2026 through website project Selected letters will be published together with materials from Graham and other famous people.
This project is a continuation of the miniseries “Youth” co-authored by Stephen Graham. The series tells about 13-year-old James, who is suspected of murdering his peer. Shaw investigates modern masculinity and the pressures faced by teenage boys in the digital world.
“After adolescence, I realized how little time is often left for fathers and sons to talk openly about what it means to be a man today.” – said Graham.
The series sparked a wide-ranging debate in the UK and beyond about the role of parents and toxic online influences. In particular, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer supported the idea of showing the series in schools, and he himself watched it together with his teenage children.
The idea of creating a book arose after an experiment by psychologist Orla Klein. When he asked male friends to write letters of growing-up advice to his son on his 13th birthday. She told about it to a mutual friend with Graham, who then contacted them.
Graham and Klein indicated that they would donate for every letter published to the charity MANUP? and Dad La Soul, a social enterprise that helps young men struggling with mental disorders.
