Levi feels quite nervous before his first day at a new school. In his helplessness, his dad says, "Men don't cry!"
But on his way to school, Levi observes men everywhere letting their feelings show. When Levi comes home in the afternoon, his dad has tears in his eyes, and they both understand: men do cry, and that is perfectly okay...
This wonderful children's book shows our children that it is healthy, important, and completely normal to show emotions, fear, and vulnerability. With spectacular illustrations in wonderful pastel tones, "Men Cry" is a little masterpiece.
"It was time for a children's book like this. In a society where men are often expected to hide their feelings, it is so refreshing to find a book aimed at the little ones that tells them: You and your feelings are perfectly okay just as you are."
– Katharina E. from Bonn, mother of Ben (3) and Jonas (6)
