Questions people ask

Mommy and Daddy Have Tattoos is a read-aloud for ages 3–8, for the little ones who ask what Mom and Dad’s tattoos mean. Our Kids Have Tattoos is a picture book for grown-ups: the parents and grandparents of tattooed adults, and the grown kids who give it to them.

Ages 3–8. It’s written in bouncy read-aloud rhyme, 34 pages in an 8.5 × 8.5 inch paperback, made for reading together with a little finger pointing at every tattoo. Not sure what to say when they ask? Here’s our guide on how to explain tattoos to kids, by age.

Parents and grandparents whose grown kids came home with ink, and the grown kids who want to give them something that says what the tattoos mean. It’s 38 pages in the same 8.5 × 8.5 inch paperback, with warm watercolor painted across each spread.
