Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different is a timely book that joins and expands the gender-role conversation and gives boys a welcome alternative message: that masculinity can mean many things. Filled with interesting stories about boys (and men) that contributed and changed the world in their own ways, this book is sure to inspire young readers and show them that there are many, many different ways to make a difference.

You won’t find any stories of slaying dragons or saving princesses here. In Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different, author Ben Brooks-with the help of Quinton Wintor’s striking full-color illustrations-offers a welcome alternative narrative: one that celebrates introverts and innovators, sensitivity and resilience, individuality and expression. It’s an accessible compilation of 75 famous and not-so-famous men from the past to the present day, every single one of them a rule-breaker and stereotype-smasher in his own way. Entries include Frank Ocean, Salvador Dali, Beethoven, Barack Obama, Ai Weiwei, Jesse Owens, and so many more-heroes from all walks of life and from all over the world.
