BOY

This one-of-a-kind journal is handcrafted from a 2018 printing of Boy by Phil Cummings, illustrated by Shane Devries, a quietly powerful story about courage, imagination, and choosing kindness even in difficult moments. The striking cover art and gently told narrative give this piece a thoughtful, reflective presence — perfect for writers and journal keepers drawn to stories with heart and meaning.

The original book has been carefully transformed into a functional keepsake journal, preserving its beautiful full-color illustrations throughout. Blank, acid-free writing pages are interwoven with all original pages, allowing you to enjoy the artwork while creating space for personal notes, reflections, creative writing, or memory keeping. Each journal is finished by hand with a bronze metal coil binding, giving it the durability and character that defines every Red Barn Collections piece.

Only one copy is available. 

A meaningful gift for readers who value modern illustrated storytelling, educators, young readers at heart, or anyone looking for a truly unique handmade journal.
