Do you ever feel bored? Do other people in your life--maybe younger and smaller than you--ever utter in a plaintive tone, "I'm bored"?
Inspired by insight from therapist Laura Place, The Bored Book offers both short-term and long-term solutions!
Short-term: It's a do-it-yourself comic to print, fold, cut, and read. Guaranteed boredom buster.
Long-term: It's a funny story that also teaches readers how to use boredom as a window into their own minds, bodies, and feelings.
Bonus: Readers may be inspired to create their own mini-comics. Author takes no responsibility for any unhinged flights of fancy that result.
