Some things nobody thinks to tell a boy.
That being scared doesn't make you weak. That losing a game or a friend or a pet is allowed to hurt - a lot. That quiet kids have as much going on inside them as the loud ones. That anger is a signal worth listening to, not a flaw to be ashamed of. That the things that make you different are often the things that make you remarkable.
"Nobody Told You This" is a collection of fifteen original short stories, each following a different boy through something real: a first day at a new school, a championship game that goes wrong, a parent moving out, a best friend slowly drifting away, a dog who doesn't make it home.
These aren't stories with easy answers. They're stories with honest ones.
Written for boys aged 8-13, and for any adult who wants to read alongside them. Each story ends with three questions designed to spark real conversations - the kind that don't have right or wrong answers.
A book for the boy who feels everything. And for everyone who loves one.
