Stories about boys who dare to be different

Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different - Ben Brooks

An inspiring collection of 100 stories about famous and less famous boys and men throughout history. All of them, in their own way, have made the world a little better. How? Well, mostly by simply being themselves - even if that's different from others.

From scientists and athletes to artists, musicians, and writers: the men in this book show that it's okay to be yourself, and that you can change the world in a way that suits you. Many boys cannot identify with the idea of a strong, independent, competitive savior who never cries. The (sometimes unspoken) expectation is for boys to conform to the stereotypical idea of masculinity. But what if you're introverted, prefer to pick up a book than a sword, what if you dare to cry when you're sad?

Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different is a beautiful, impressive book full of tales of adventure and wonder. With fantastic illustrations by Quinton Winter, of men who helped make the world a more beautiful place. This book is a boost for those who do not succumb to peer pressure, who dare to swim against the current, who dare to be different. Who dare to be themselves.
