Boys can be anything they want to be! In this sequel to the
New York Times
bestseller
Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different
, Ben Brooks introduces seventy-six
more
boys and men who will inspire young readers to live boldly and true to themselves.
What do environmental activist
Xiuhtezcatl Martinez
, philosopher
Socrates
, and singer
Ed Sheeran
all have in common? Each of them defied expectations — going against the grain and pursuing their dreams despite a seemingly impossible barrage of obstacles and difficulties. Their stories are incredible, as are those of tap dancer
Evan Ruggiero
, Pokémon creator
Satoshi Tajiri
, the brave
Chernobyl Divers
, and the other inspirational boys who fill the pages of this extraordinary book.
Together, their stories offer young boys the welcome alternative message that masculinity can mean many things — that it's okay to be sensitive, to be bold, and to follow their hearts.
