Our Kids Have Tattoos

by Frank & Kelsey Brannen

When the grown kids come home with ink, Mom and Dad aren't sure what to think, until they start asking. A garden sleeve, a compass, Grandma's handwriting, a grumpy old beagle, a porch light left on late: every tattoo carries a story, and half of them star you.

  2. The grown daughter with a flower sleeve walks into the kitchen; her parents freezePages 6–7
  3. At the kitchen table, Mom worries while the daughter laughs with DadPages 8–9
  4. In the living room, the parents lean in with questionsPages 10–11
  5. Harbor lights, a city and a sailboat flow out of the daughter's sleevePages 12–13

Mommy and Daddy Have Tattoos

The picture book for the kids who ask: every swirl and splash on Mom and Dad's skin holds a tale of love, bravery and adventure. Read together, the two make a pretty good pair.
