Dear Boy, is a celebration of boys everywhere. It teaches boys to be themselves, be bold, and to never shy away from their feelings. Told from the point of view of a child's guardian, this book delves into the life lessons we all hope to teach the strong (yet gentle) boys in our lives. For the first time, father and daughter of the late Amy Krouse Rosenthal team up together to create an ageless and timeless picture book with stunningly imaginative pictures by DEAR GIRL, illustrator Holly Hatam.

A PERFECT COMPANION TO AMY'S DEAR GIRL,: While Dear Girl, was an ode to girlhood, Dear Boy, is a special love letter written from parent-to-child that expresses how important and wonderful boys are, and how loving and empathetic boys can be.

Jason is the subject of Amy's viral Modern Love essay in the New York Times titled, "You May Want to Marry My Husband," which will be coming to the big screen!
