Synopsis
“Celebrates boyhood and encourages boys to embrace all the many things that make them each unique. Readers will meet boys who love to create, explore, try new things, ask questions, share feelings, team-up with others, pursue dreams and do things they’ve never tried. The rhyming is exceptional, with each sequence ending in a question to readers. What a clever way to encourage discussion …This is definitely a read aloud.”―Children’s Books Heal
“The tone and intent of this title aimed at boys may be useful in a counseling environment, with the questions stimulating discussion…”―School Library Journal
What exactly do boys do? The answer is anything and everything! From eating to dreaming, making mistakes to exploring, to hurting and loving, there is more to being a boy than meets the eye. In this fun, affirming book that holds no restraints to traditional norms about what it means to be a boy, readers will rejoice at all of the possibilities.

Reviews
K-Gr 2—Rhyming text in question format (not all of which scans well) suggests the varied ways to be a boy: "Do you share a story or something to eat? Notice your feelings when you gather and meet?" While some of the ideas are concrete, such as making rockets or art, most are abstract. "Do you nurture others by helping them grow?" is paired with an illustration of a brown-skinned boy marking the height of a friend on a wall. The line and wash illustrations with a diverse and differently abled crew of wonderfully expressive boys and girls does not save the one-note, repetitive tone of the text. A reader's note provides suggestions for supporting boys to grow beyond traditionally gendered roles. VERDICT The tone and intent of this title aimed at boys may be useful in a counseling environment, with the questions stimulating discussion, but for general use it is an additional purchase.—Ramarie Beaver
