Its a Boy: Women Writers on Raising
Sons
Great Essays
The most popular question any pregnant woman is asked — aside from
When are you due? — has got to be Are you having a girl or a boy? When
author Andrea Buchanan, already a mom to a little girl, was pregnant with
her second child, she marveled at the response of friends and total
strangers alike: Boys are wonderful, Boys are so much better than girls,
Boys love their mothers differently than girls. This constant refrain led her
to explore the issue herself, with help from her fellow writers and moms,
many of whom had had the same experience. The result is Its A Boy, a
wide-ranging, often-humorous, and honest collection of essays about the
experience of mothering boys. Taking on topics like aggression, parenting
a teenage boy, and wishing for a daughter but getting a son, Its A Boy
explores what its like to mother sons and how that experience may be
different, but no less satisfying, than mothering girls.
Personal Review: Its a Boy: Women Writers on Raising Sons

I found this book to be heartwarming yet hilarious and I felt like I had a big
sister giving me advice while I read. I recommend this book to any mother
of sons, grown or still very young.
