Product Description

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.

Editorial Reviews

“This is such a timely and important book—but it’s not only crucial; it’s delightful. You learn and laugh and experience a narrative so conspicuously absent from our culture’s loudest voices. This wonderful story will help boys form an identity rooted in truth and dedicated to using their strengths as servants. Best of all, it also points them to that perfect man, Jesus Christ. I love this book!” -- S.D. Smith (Author of The Green Ember series)


“My son and I are often talking about what true strength and manliness looks like—and now I have a great book to give him! I’m so thankful for Champ’s enjoyable writing and faithful Bible teaching and look forward to giving this to many young boys we know.” -- Kristen Wetherell (Author, Hope When It Hurts, Humble Moms, and the For the Bible Tells Me So board book series)


“In a world of gender confusion, parents need helpful resources to reinforce their children’s God-given identity. This is such a resource. Rich with gospel truth, It’s Good to Be a Boy celebrates manhood for young boys and points them to the ultimate man, Jesus Christ. Every family will want to add this to their bookshelf and read it often.” -- Marty Machowski (Family pastor; author of The Ology, The Gospel Story Bible, Long Story Short, and other gospel-rich resources for families)


It’s Good to Be a Boy is a beautiful celebration of God’s design. Rooted in Scripture, it offers an encouraging and worshipful vision of what it means for boys to be created in the image of God. Without leaning on tired stereotypes, it highlights the distinctiveness of boyhood while affirming the immeasurable value that every boy has in the kingdom of God. Young boys will be inspired to see how God has invited them to mirror his character in the world. -- Amy Gannett (Founder, Tiny Theologians; Author, Fix Your Eyes)


This is a helpful and positive exploration of what it means to be a boy. Using biblical examples, it emphasises the value and the distinctiveness of being created male, encouraging boys to use all the strength and gifts God has given them to love and serve others.” -- Jonty and Linda Allcock (Jonty is the pastor of The Globe Church, London; Linda is the author of Deeper Still)
