Striking portraits of boys, ages four to nineteen, are paired with brief quotes from the subjects; the whole provides insight into the variety of ways (western) boys see and express themselves. Lack of information (beyond the quotes) about the individuals is disappointing, but the book's value comes from the expansive definition of boyhood.

Dramatic photos of real girls are paired with stirring quotes from each photo's subject that speak to her unique form of strength, frequently related to athletics, self-expression, confounding expectations, or overcoming adversity. The images are stirring and beautifully composed, the quotes intriguing and inspirational, but absent any context or information about the featured girls, the ultimate effect is somewhat hollow.
