It's Good to Be a Boy (Hardback) by Champ Thornton and Hsulynn Pang

Celebrate God’s good design for boys! Fun, upbeat, and faithful, this kids' book will excite readers with a positive vision of boyhood they’ll want to return to again and again.

Children will see that...

God gives boys strength with which to serve
men in the Bible served God in all sorts of ways
God’s design for boys brings lots of joy

The repeated, action-oriented refrain “High-five, praise God, and shout for joy, because it’s good to be a boy” will become a favorite for kids.

Share the celebration of God’s good design for girls through the companion kid’s book It’s Good to Be a Girl.
