The 26 colorful letters and images of Boys: An Alphabet Book Inspired By Sons, reflect the essence of boys. Each book has a unique cover distinct from the other books in the edition, made from the pocket of children’s blue jeans. A puppet or toy is stuffed into each denim pocket cover, just the way a typical boy would stuff his pockets with treasures. This artist book is intended for children of all ages and the book also functions as a work of art, a sculpture that can adorn a child’s bedroom or a family room shelf. Everyone is invited to romp through the alphabet as each colorful letter, image, and text invites the reader to reflect on the antics and energy of boys.
