Not only does Tough Guys Have Feelings Too by Keith Negley (Flying Eye Books, RRP £11.99) have the most glorious bold, block colour, retro-style illustrations, but it also contains an important message. With media and the high street peddling the idea that boys have to be macho and tough, it’s great to see something that positively explores the idea of sensitive males. The book looks at aspirational figures – from an astronaut to a racing car driver – reasons why they might get upset and confirms that it’s ok. Lovely way to open a discussion on emotions with your child.
