some BOYS (2018)

by Nelly Thomas & illustrated by Sarah Dunk

SOME BOYS is the second in a series of early childhood books by Australian Comedian Nelly Thomas aimed at challenging old-fashioned stereotypes about boys and girls.

It is a story about how everyone is different and special in their own way.

Your boy might like rough, tough, gentle or pretty stuff.

He might wear wears shirts, skirts, hats or plaits. He might get sad sometimes, and mad sometimes. He might feel shy sometimes and want to fly sometimes!

Some Boys says it’s all good – all boys can be whoever they want.

Some Boys encourages all boys to be free of stereotypes and other kids – and adults – to allow them to be.
