I am on a quest to find incredible books (both chapter and picture) that showcase BOYS and the incredible gifts God has given them. I want my son to know how awesome his masculinity is, and I want him to heroize boy/male characters who are strong, faithful, steadfast, daring, courageous, and all the things that God made men to be. I've compiled the books that have been recommended to me for this purpose. This is by no means an exhaustive list (and I have neither read nor vetted all of them,) but it's a start! *note: most are Amazon links; some I found elsewhere on the internet Hardy Boys When I'm A Daddy: A Little Boy's Guide to Biblical Fatherhood Rush Revere Series Teddy’s Button Tiger and Tom and Other Stories for Boys Way of the Warrior Kid Sir Badalot and the Cranky Danky Dragon Jesus and My Gender The Manliness of Christ Peter Pan Brave Heroes and Bold Defenders The Squire and the Scroll Prince Martin Wins His Sword The Call of the Wild The Adventures of Tom Sawyer The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Old Yeller (*maybe better for older kids; my small children would be DEVASTATED at the dog dying) Where the Red Fern Grows Little Pilgrim's Progress Lightkeepers Boys Series Hatchet Series Boxcar Children (series--there are so many!) Little Britches (here's the first; there are 8 in the set) Mikey and the Dragons My Father's Dragon Chronicles of Narnia (specifically: The Horse and His Boy) The Hobbit (my kids especially love this version, with its stunning full color illustrations) I also discovered this website/blog post with its own list. Worth checking out. I hope these titles/links prove helpful to you and your family! If you have a recommendation or few, leave a comment, and I'll add yours to the list!
