In a world where fathers are increasingly absent, overworked, or simply disconnected from their children, Boy Summer is a timely and essential read. This heartfelt and inspiring book explores the importance of fatherhood and the transformative power of spending time with our sons.

Author Richard Louv argues that the summer months provide a unique opportunity for fathers and sons to bond and create memories that will last a lifetime. He challenges fathers to put down their phones, turn off the TV, and get outside with their sons. Whether it's hiking in the mountains, fishing in a lake, or simply playing catch in the backyard, these shared experiences are essential for the development of healthy and fulfilling relationships between fathers and sons.

Boy Summer is not just a book about parenting. It's a book about the power of relationships and the importance of making time for the people we love. It's a book that will inspire fathers to be more present in their sons' lives and to create memories that will last a lifetime.
