When You're a Boy - by Blake Nuto (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

When you're a boy,
you're told how to be
like the white-roaring oceans.
But I've learned
the fierceness of flowers,
the glory of color,
and the beauty of dreaming.

Wander through forests, cross rivers, and climb mountains in this powerful and moving exploration of what it means to be a boy.

Review Quotes

"Nuto's lyrical text resounds with gripping imagery and metaphor effectively matched by loose, energetic illustrations of the salt spray on ocean rocks and the crackling sparks of a campfire." --School Library Journal
