This is such a good book for families with boys who are struggling through life, and for men who have experienced the same and now face the need to be the father to a son struggling too.
Too long has the male been told to hold back their emotions, that "men or boys don't cry". Boys encounter various emotions while in school or in our society, however they are not given that opportunity of sharing them or hold them back.
This book shows how parents can help boys cultivate emotional awareness and empathy, which in turn provides them with the vital connections and support they need to charter a course through the social pressures of youth and on into adulthood.
