Mom & Son, Your Turn!

About this book

For the mom of a boy who answers every question with “fine”, and the boy who would rather draw it than write it.

Mom & Son, Your Turn! is a pass-back journal for boys ages 9-14 and their moms. One of you answers, you pass the book back, and the other answers too. Most prompts need a tick, a circle, a number from 1 to 5, a quick drawing or one word, so it works for boys who don't like writing.

A fun Christmas gift, birthday gift or stocking stuffer that gets the two of you laughing and talking.
