How to Be a Boy: and Do It Your Own Way

Product Information

There are so many mixed messages out there for boys and young men growing up. It can be so confusing – especially if you feel a bit ‘different’. So I wanted to show everyone that ‘being a boy’ is just about being the best person you can be, no matter who you are, where you’re from, what your abilities are, or what you like. I wish I had this book when I was growing up. It would have made life so much easier! It inspired me to create mental health first aid resources for the public, including instructional videos, to raise awareness and equip others with the tools to help in similar situations. I make sure to consider suicidal feelings in any young patient of mine going through distressing times, and I prioritise open conversations about mental health with my male friends and loved ones. This was especially important during the pandemic when mental health was so severely affected. Filled with easy-to-understand explanations, down-to-earth advice and cheeky illustrations, this growing-up guide by trusted paediatrician Dr Ranj is perfect for readers aged 10+ who want to discover the confidence to be the very best version of themselves.

I recognise the profound impact that mental health has on my own life. I’ve been there and felt it. I was a child who at one very dark point felt suicidal because he was desperately seeking someone to speak to. I’ve had family members who have experienced severe depression, to the point of being sectioned. And as an adult, I’ve had my own struggles with stress, anxiety and burnout. I may bear the scars, but I also have the skills and insight to know what to do and how to deal with it. David O'Connell is a writer and illustrator living in London, UK. His favourite things to draw are monsters, naughty children (another type of monster), batty old ladies and evil cats! Do you ever pretend to like something you don’t, just to fit in?
