Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I had wanted to write a book for boys that would be a complement to one I’d written for girls, Queen Bees and Wannabes. I wasn’t sure if I could deliver the level of insight that boys and parents needed and deserved.#2 I have a reputation for working with girls. I have taught in schools for almost twenty years, and I started by founding a nonprofit organization that taught kids from fifth to twelfth grade a social justice and ethical leadership course called Owning Up.#3 With the popularity of Queen Bees and Mean Girls, I began to be called upon to speak on girls’ issues. While the attention on girls was needed, the message was sometimes watered down or used as a way to demonize girls.#4 I was surprised at how many boys volunteered to help me write a book for boys. They told me why they did it, and many shared their deepest feelings and thoughts.
