Sons Are Special: A Tribute to Our Cherished Children

Sons hold a special place in our families. There is hardly a parent who doesn’t marvel at the growth of a son from adorable infant to mischievous little boy to dignified gentleman.
Sons are not just sons—they can be older brothers who serve as role models for their siblings, or the younger brothers whose love and admiration is unconditional. Sons are also nephews and grandchildren who eventually become fathers, uncles, and grandfathers themselves. A son has as much to teach his parents about the world as they have to teach him.
Sons Are Special celebrates the unique bond between sons and parents and the love filled with wonder, laughter, and joy. With touching, tender, and humorous quotes, this book is a perfect gift for any son or parent of a son.
