The Boring Book

The Boring Book is a humorous picture book that follows the story of one particularly bored child.

As the story progresses, our protagonist discovers there's actually more to boredom than what meets the eye—more questions, more theories, and heaps of humor.

This exploration of boredom from acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake playfully unpacks the ways in which a seemingly stagnant state is actually a portal into a dynamic, life-enriching experience.

• Embraces the topic of boredom—an ever-so-popular kid complaint—and runs with it
• Yoshitake's illustrations promote visual literacy and show young readers what the process of creative thinking looks like

This smart, laugh-out-loud picture book just might change your child's perspective on the state of boredom forever.
