Yes, Boys Can! (Inspiring Stories of Men Who Changed the World; He Can H.E.A.L.)

Inspire boys to be brave and caring through the biographies of 50 fascinating men, past and present, who have worked in often under-represented fields of health, education, the arts, and literacy (HEAL).
 
Inspired by his own experiences as a father and policy expert, Richard Reeves’s groundbreaking book Of Boys and Men uncovered some of the ways and extents to which boys and men have been falling behind and imagined initiatives like “He Can H.E.A.L.” to inspire boys to pursue paths that they might otherwise feel are inaccessible or inappropriate for them. Working with national elementary art educator of the year Jonathan Juravich, Richard puts this part of his plan into action with Yes, Boys Can!, a book for boys ages 8 to 12 that tells the stories of men who have followed their dreams, cared for others, and changed the world, conveyed through biography, illustration, and simple suggested activities.

Here are just a few of the many compassionate and enterprising men introduced:
 

• Booker T. Washington – educator and author
• Luther Christman – the first man inducted into the American Nursing Association’s Hall of Fame in 2004
• LeVar Burton – actor and literacy advocate
• Tom Daley – Olympian and knitter

 
While not all the names might be familiar, each of these life stories will inspire boys to fearlessly imagine what kind of man they could be and how they could change the world for good.
