When You're A Boy

When you're a boy you are told how to be
like the white-roaring oceans.
But I've learned the fierceness of flowers
the glory of colour and the beauty of dreaming.

Wander through forests, cross rivers and climb mountains in this powerful and moving exploration of what it means to be a boy. 

When You're a Boy from an exciting new author-illustrator talent, Blake Nuto. Read by Peter Houghton.
