A warm and humorous picture book from TV and radio personality GUS WORLAND about being okay to share your feelings.

This boy is having a REALLY bad day.

But no matter what happens, he will not, should not, CAN NOT cry!

Or can he?

A picture book inspired by the outdated common phrase 'boys don't cry', filled with important current messaging for young and growing minds about building mental fitness.

"A valuable resource to start conversations about feelings, expression and gendered expectations." – Children's Book Council Australia Reading Time

About the authors

Gus Worland

Gus Worland is a Gotcha4Life Founder, Speaker, and Mental Fitness advocate based in Sydney, Australia.

Gus gets a room (or a global audience!) laughing, crying thinking and talking afterwards about a topic others feel uncomfortable speaking about. Gus breaks down barriers with an authentic, honest, interactive conversation delivered in his relaxed, informal, style. What you see is what you get. And what you get is incredible.
