Reviews
'Matt Pinkett tackles some deeply uncomfortable issues relating to boys’ mental health. It’s searingly honest, written from the heart and with a whopping intent to open up some of this tricky terrain. It is one thing to name that terrain, it is quite another to expand on it in a way that really makes you think, and then quite another to provide some sensitive yet punchy potential solutions. It’s a cliché to say that certain books should be read by everyone working in schools. In the case of Boys Do Cry, it’s absolutely true.' Mary Myatt, Education Advisor, Writer, and Speaker 'For people who teach, this book reminds us why we do it. For people who don’t, it will give you a chance to look into boys’ lives and experiences and consider how we need to talk, support, and provide role models to give boys the happy and healthy adulthoods they deserve.' Dr Poppy Gibson, Senior Lecturer in Education at Anglia Ruskin University 'Boys Do Cry offers multiple windows into the experiences of boys and young men. It is a compelling argument that everyone benefits when we prioritise male mental health and wellbeing.' Sanum Jawaid Khan, Schools Week
