Reviews
Today, girls can be anything they want to be, and so can boys. I love the way this book highlights an accomplished, diverse group of men who serve as inspiring role models in fields such as nursing, teaching, poetry, the arts, fashion and dance. -- Liz Lee Heinecke, The Kitchen Pantry Scientist and bestselling author of She Can STEM, We desperately need to spotlight occupations where boys and men can excel: artists, nurses, social work, and teaching, for example. There exists still a massive cultural, gendered inertia that leaves these meaningful and critical jobs outside the career goal radar. We need men in these roles, and Yes, Boys Can! not only inspires boys and men to strive for roles in careers of caring and expression, it normalizes them as possibilities. Pick it up and browse the pages, or read it cover to cover - even the format is well-suited to the target audience of middle grade boys. -- Ken Cadow, art teach and author of the Kirkus Prize winning Young Adult novel Gather, Yes Boys Can! is exactly the kind of resource I have long been hoping for. While girls have benefitted from decades of leadership from women who have broken though many "glass ceilings," entering professions unheard of 50 years ago, there has been very little role modeling for boys that departs from the "Man Box" of the tired old restrictive norms for masculinity. Breaking free of these norms, the HEAL (Health, Education, Arts and Literacy) professions offer respected well-paying careers for males. Yes Boys Can! provides portraits of 50 men in such professions as nurse, teacher, dancer, visual artist, and even floral designer. -- Dr. Ronald F. Levant, psychologist, professor, founder of the new psychology of men, and author of The Problem With Men.

Synopsis
" Yes, Boys Can! highlights the imagination, perseverance, and compassion of 50 men throughout history working in underrepresented fields of health, education, arts, and literacy, pairing each biography with a simple suggested activity. Inspire boys to be confident and caring through the biographies of 50 fascinating men, past and present, representing the under-represented fields of health, education, the arts, and literacy (HEAL). Inspired by his own experiences as a father and policy expert, Richard Reeves's groundbreaking book Of Boys and Men uncovered some of the ways and extents to which boys and men have been falling behind and imagined initiatives like ""He Can H.E.A.L."" to inspire boys to pursue paths that they might otherwise feel are inaccessible or inappropriate for them. He says: ""Gender equality is not a zero sum game. We can do more for boys and men without doing less for women and girls. We can be passionate about women's rights, and compassionate towards the struggles of boys and men."" Working with national elementary art educator of the year Jonathan Juravich, Richard puts ""He Can H.E.A.L."" into action with Yes, Boys Can!, a book for boys ages 8 to 12 that tells the stories of men who have followed their dreams, cared for others, and changed the world, conveyed through biography, illustration, and simple suggested activities. Here are just a few of the many compassionate and enterprising men introduced: Booker T. Washington - educator and authorLuther Christman - the first man inducted into the American Nursing Association's Hall of Fame in 2004LeVar Burton - actor and literacy advocateTom Daley - Olympian and knitter While not all the names might be familiar, each of these life stories will inspire boys to fearlessly imagine what kind of man they could be and how they could change the world for good. Because representation matters, and if you don't see it, you can't be it.", Yes, Boys Can! highlights the imagination, perseverance, and compassion of 50 men throughout history working in underrepresented fields of health, education, arts, and literacy, pairing each biography with a simple suggested activity., Through biography, illustration, and simple suggested activities. Yes, Boys Can' tells the stories of men who have followed their dreams, cared for others, and changed the world: Here are just a few of the many compassionate and enterprising men featured: Tom Daley-Olympian and knitter, LeVar Burton-actor and literacy advocate, Booker T. Washington-educator and author Although not all the names might be familiar, each of these life stories will inspire boys to fearlessly imagine what kind of man they could be, and how they could change the world for good.
