Reviews and Awards

“Nuto’s lyrical text resounds with gripping imagery and metaphor effectively matched by loose, energetic illustrations of the salt spray on ocean rocks and the crackling sparks of a campfire.” —School Library Journal

“Paired with absolutely stunning and heart warming illustrations, When You’re a Boy shares the absolutely vital message that there are so many important ways to be a man. . . . I can’t share enough how moving this book was for me, or how quickly I will be buying it for my public library and bringing it out at storytimes! This read is a must-have for homes hoping to foster acceptance, self love, and open mindedness.” —Kara Sabbagh, Children & Teen Librarian at Weston Public Library
