By Bell Hooks
Illustrated by Chris Raschka
Summary: This book uses poetry to celebrate being a boy and it's complexities and wonder.
Other Notes: I really value this book because it celebrates boys. The spirited boy, the tender boy, the talkative boy, the quiet boy. It is absolutely wonderful and I especially appreciate how it is not a book that reinforces gender stereotypes. These are rare to find. The art is also beautiful with the text.
"I be boy. All bliss. All fine beat. All beau boy."
A book for toddlers.
