Inspirujące opowieści o wspaniałych mężczyznach, stanowiących wzór dla chłopców, którzy chcą wyrastać ponad przeciętność.
To przystępnie napisany zbiór 100 historii znanych i mniej znanych mężczyzn z przeszłości i współczesności, którzy odważyli się wyjść poza schematy i obalić stereotypy, każdy z nich w wyjątkowy sposób! Od odkrywców i naukowców, przez filozofów, przyrodników, sportowców, po artystów i polityków, jak Stephen Hawking, Barack Obama, Salvador Dali, Ludwig van Beethoven, Lionel Messi, Nelson Mandela czy John Lennon, a także wielu innych bohaterów z różnych środowisk społecznych i ze wszystkich zakątków świata!
Książka pomaga uwierzyć chłopcom, że mogą zostać kim tylko chcą! Ta ponadczasowa lektura rozpoczyna dyskusję o rolach przypisanych płciom, oferując chłopcom przesłanie: męskość może mieć wiele znaczeń.

W „Opowieściach dla chłopców, którzy chcą być wyjątkowi”, autor Ben Brooks, z pomocą barwnych ilustracji Quintona Wintera, przedstawia fascynujące historie, które są pochwałą wrażliwości i siły wewnętrznej, indywidualizmu i pomysłowości, wytrwałości i wiary w siebie.

Prince charming, dragon slayer, mischievous prankster... More often than not, these are the role-models boys encounter in the books they read at home and at school. As a boy, there is an assumption that you will conform to a stereotypical idea of masculinity.

But what if you're the introvert kind? What if you prefer to pick up a book rather than a sword? What if you want to cry when you're feeling sad or angry? What if you like the idea of wearing a dress?

There is an ongoing crisis with regards to young men and mental health, with unhelpful gender stereotypes contributing to this malaise. Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different offers a welcome alternative narrative. It is an extraordinary compilation of 100 stories of famous and not-so-famous men from the past to the present day, every single one of them a rule-breaker and innovator in his own way, and all going on to achieve amazing things. Entries include Frank Ocean, Salvador Dalí, Rimbaud, Beethoven, Barack Obama, Stormzy, Ai Weiwei and Jesse Owens - different sorts of heroes from all walks of life and from all over the world.

A beautiful and transporting book packed with stories of adventure and wonderment, it will appeal to those who need the courage to reject peer pressure and go against the grain. It is the must-have book for all those boys who worry about stuff and all those parents who worry about their boys who worry about stuff. It will educate and entertain, while also encourage and inspire.

'Don't be.'
Do be. I'm a child.
