The Boring Book follows the story of one particularly bored boy. As the story progresses, the protagonist discovers there's more to boredom than what meets the eye—more questions, more theories, and heaps of humor.

Playful type highlights the picture book’s zany antics and conversational text. A fifth printed color adds a vibrant yellow to the endpapers, setting the tone for the unconventional story ahead.
