Using sparse text and large, bright photographs, this book debunks commonly held gender myths and misconceptions that are stated matter-of-factly, such as "boys don't cook," but when the page is turned, each myth is proven false with playful language and a contradictory photo (a male professional chef). - Baker & Taylor
Boys do not cook, and girls cannot play sports--but in this book the pictures tell a different story. - Random House, Inc.
Boys don’t cry . . . do they?
Using sparse text and large, bright photographs, Of Course They Do! debunks commonly-held gender-myths in a cheerful, no-nonsense fashion. A picture says a thousand words and turns misconceptions about “boy things” and “girl things” on their head. Boys dance and girls are astronauts; boys cook and girls score goals; boys jump rope and girls speed around race tracks. It’s chaos! Or is it?
The message is clear: anyone can do anything! This jacketless book is perfect for young readers as well as read-alouds, sure to spark many a conversation about gender roles and inspire young readers to follow their passions.
