From Publishers Weekly
This sequel to Al Parisi's Lunch Bag Notes: Everyday Advice from a Dad to His Daughter follows the same winning, folksy format as the original, presenting actual daily notes that Parisi tucked into his son's lunch bag. Much of the advice is pragmatic and motivational: Parisi tells his son to be persistent and have a positive attitude, to get plenty of rest and to learn a new word every day. He also explores ethical and theological themes, drawing from Catholic belief and practice in ways that will welcome, and not alienate, readers from other faith traditions. As Parisi's epistles carry his son through the tumult of a sophomore year in high school during which the boy learns to drive, breaks up with a girlfriend and juggles heavy responsibilities, parents will come to see the importance of communication and daily connection with their teens. Every other page provides questions for reflection or discussion, along with space to journal. (Aug.)

Anthony gets in on the Act!
As in the previous Lunch Bag Notes book, the primary author of the book is Al Parisi and the focal point of the book are the notes written by a great dad. But in this book, the recipient of the notes is Anthony, Al's son.

Al's notes to Anthony, shared in the body of this book, are sure to enlighten and inspire any teen or adult. Each note is accompanied by a journal entry, complete with prompting questions.

I love Al's insights and have used them as a springboard for discussions with my own children. This book will definitely inspire any parent to put their words of love and encouragement into writing for their children!
