This boy is having a REALLY bad day.

But no matter what happens, he will not, should not, CAN NOT cry!

Or can he?

Boys Do Cry is a picture book inspired by the outdated common phrase 'boys don't cry', filled with important current messaging for young and growing minds about building mental fitness.

"A valuable resource to start conversations about feelings, expression and gendered expectations." - Children's Book Council Australia Reading Time
