A really unique book that can be lifesaving for the many kids who don't fit the narrow old ideas of what maleness is. It will widen the perspective of children and parents alike. It also covers emotional intelligence so beautifully. Such a lot in just a few pages.

Steve Biddulph, AM Bestselling author of Raising Boys in the 21st Century

Have you ever felt you should act a certain way or do certain things, just because you're a boy This book encourages young boys to broaden their ideas about what it means to be a boy, supporting them to feel free and proud to be who they truly are.

Jessica Sanders is the best-selling, award-winning author of Love Your Body and Me Time and is an advocate and social worker from Melbourne. Jessica has a bachelor’s degree in fine art photography, a postgraduate certificate in gender studies and a masters in social work. She has volunteered for several women’s rights organizations, supported women and children fleeing family violence and lectured at schools teaching the importance of respect for self and others. Robbie Cathro is an illustrator and storyteller living in Bristol, UK, where he creates fun and lively work. He loves bright colors, limited palettes, atmospheric textures, and layered characters, all of which are inspired by the animation he loves, the folktales he reads, and the small stories you find in the corner of your day-to-day life. He loves nothing more than getting a brief that covers a subject from the other side of the world--whether that's the animals and inhabitants of Yosemite Park, Chinese inventors, Victorian ghosts, or girls being rescued from towers by giant owls.
