Dear Boy audiobook

Sure, it's a little hokey. But you know what? Sometimes we all need to be reminded that we are valued and it's okay not be know everything and to be kind. So hokey or not, I liked it. The world needs more sentimental things.

This truly warmed my cold dead heart.

Very sweet, just not as poignent as Dear Girl, which is too bad.

Just as wonderful and sweet as Dear Girl.

Find my full review here: http://www.yabookscentral.com/kidsfic...DEAR BOY is a series of reflections on and advice for life, geared towards boys. With statements encouraging them to follow their dreams, make friends who are like and unlike them, and believe in magic. With colorful and fun illustrations, this is a celebration of being a child that is a pleasure to share with your little one.What I loved: The illustrations in this book are colorful, vivid, and completely gorgeous (for instance, the “always trust magic” page is unbelievably awesome). Just flipping through pages to enjoy the pictures is a pleasure. Add that to the fun and enthusiastic messages for a young child, and this is a delightful book from cover to cover. While much of the book is light-hearted, it also carries some important lessons, such as to be kind and about consent (that yes means yes and anything else means no). This book can be a real conversation starter with toddlers who are learning so much about the world around them.Regardless, this book is beautiful and clever, a joy to read with young ones. The word-to-picture ratio is ideal for young toddlers through preschoolers/early elementary schoolers, and the vivid images will delight young readers across ages.Final verdict: This lovely book is perfect for parents to read and enjoy with toddlers and young readers. The illustrations are just beautiful and the text is encouraging and full of great advice. Highly recommend for parents and young boys who enjoy picture books.

Good for lap reading

Wonderful!

As anmom of boys, I am constantly saying things to them like "be kind" and "it is ok to want to play with dolls" but you know when things come from your mom.... they are not always believed?? When it comes from a BOOK.. well now that makes it a fact! Both my boys love this... I see in their faces that the messages ring true, and it cannot hurt to be reminded over and over to love who they are, and that I am always here for them. A must have on your shelf

In the same spirit of Amy Rosenthal’s Dear Girl, this picture book companion shares so many of the important things to remember, to do, and to experience during boyhood. ❤ The bright and ever changing artwork in this book was created digitally.

Dear Boy by Amy Krouse RosenthalEncourages readers to accept and love themselves as they are and advises them to be confident, curious, adaptable, and willing to speak up. -Christine

These books are so sweet and I have bought 2 of them for women who are expecting as their baby shower gifts.

Give this book to the little boys you love 💕

A love letter to little boys to encourage them to be the best they can be.Paris wrote the book Dear Girl with her mother who has since passed away. This book is written with her dad and does a good job of matching the tone of Dear Girl but differentiating it in ways that will help a boy grow to be a wonderful man. It's sweet and cute and from the heart.

I read this book out of curiosity and it as good as Dear Girl.

This is a letter to boys, partly inspirational ("Dear Boy, Believe in yourself") and partly pedagogical ("Dear Boy, Yes means yes. Anything else means no.") Holly Hatam’s art is great - the kids loved the illustration of the hockey player in chorus.

Just like Dear Girl, this book is pretty amazing! It is a powerful, uplifting book, that puts boys in the spotlight. I think all classrooms, libraries, and parents should have a copy of this book as it informs boys that no matter who they are, they are loved, accepted and important. With a cheerful stance, the book addresses “Dear Boy” as it explains some of the many different circumstances that he might encounter with fun, cute illustrations. The authors explain that it’s okay for “Dear Boy” to not know all the answers to the questions that are presented to him, that being honest is the best choice in a situation, that he don’t always have to play with “boy” toys, and that it’s fun to have different friends for the different things that you do in life. These are just a few of the topics that the authors cover in this book that is sure to give any reader, encouragement and confident to face the day. If you haven’t read Dear Girl, you should check out that book too as they go hand-in-hand with this book. Dear Girl puts girls in the spotlight, giving them the inspiration and motivation to succeed. I highly recommended both books.

As expected, this is such a beautiful book. It is a follow-up to Dear Girl, another NYT bestseller. This inspiring letter to the little little boys of the world will give you chills as you read it. The flow of the text is impeccable. I enjoyed every word. The Rosenthals clearly left their hearts on the pages of this book and we are the better for it.Hatam’s illustrations are just stunning and reflect those of Dear Girl,, beautifully. I love the diversity of the characters because they reflect our world today. The color palette is warm and welcoming just like the text. Dear Boy, is an excellent book to read at bedtime by a parent or caregiver or read by a young boy as his own personal affirmation to himself. Another job well done by the Rosenthal’s!

Crafted by Paris Rosenthal and her father Jason as a companion to Dear Girl, a "dear" book she wrote with her late mother Amy Krouse Rosenthal. It's a book to boost you if you're a boy, a book that gives a hug to all things boys can be. I like the lines later in the book that "whenever you need an encouraging boost, remember you can turn to any page in this book." It's a hug for boys, might just be what is needed sometimes! Holly Hatam also illustrated this book, filled with her signature line drawings and collages.
