Inspire boys to be confident and caring with the stories of twenty-five fascinating men in the innovative fields of health and education.
He Can HEAL: Health and Education tells the stories of men who have followed their dreams, cared for others, and changed the world, conveyed through biography, illustration, and simple suggested activities. A celebration of diverse role models for boys, He Can HEAL encourages boys to pursue paths in unexpected and often underrepresented fields. Each of these life stories will inspire boys to fearlessly imagine what kind of man they want to be and how they can change the world for good. Because representation matters--and if you don't see it, you can't be it.
