A Boy Like You [hc]
Written by Frank Murphy & illustrated by Kayla Harren
There's more to being a boy than sports, feats of daring, and keeping a stiff upper lip. A Boy Like You encourages every boy to embrace all the things that make him unique, to be brave and ask for help, to tell his own story and listen to the stories of those around him. In an age when boys are expected to fit into a particular mold, this book celebrates all the wonderful ways to be a boy. 32 pages
"The story is directed squarely at boys, but Harren's illustrations show representations of all kinds of kids and families. Being a boy can mean many things, Murphy suggests, but being "a smart boy, a brave boy, a kind boy" are the first important steps toward manhood." -Publishers Weekly (Ages 6-7)
