About the Book
A father-son hiking trip through forests, over rivers, and up mountains turns into a moving exploration of what it means to be a boy.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
"The beautiful illustrations combine rough brush strokes and cute, simplistic faces with expertly captured light, color, and emotions. . . . An affirming inoculation against toxic masculinity." --Kirkus Reviews
"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
