Revolving around understanding, connection and laying the foundations for a strong future, this is honest, expert-led guidance for men who want to do better by the boys they love.Rob Kemp has a young adult son, and the perspective that comes from two decades of fatherhood. Joe Warner has a four year-old, raised in a world of screens, influencers and AI-shaped manhood. Together they bridge generations - one with wisdom, the other with an urgent call to action - to give today's fathers the tools, language and confidence they need to raise good men in the making.

A life-changing book that shows kids it's cool to be kind. A gloriously illustrated celebration of heroes who have changed the world with kindness and compassion, from David Attenborough to Nelson Mandela, Oskar Schindler to Usain Bolt.What if we celebrated boys for their kindness as well their strength? For their generosity as well as their success? For their loyal friendship as well as their charm? The Good Guys introduces us to 50 heroes who have showed that changing the world doesn't require a sword or a corporate jet. Readers will find stories of extraordinary men including Muhammad Ali, Professor Green, Patrick Stewart and Lionel Messi, as well as unsung heroes such as James Harrison, who has spent fifty years donating his rare blood to save millions of babies. There's even a section celebrating ten boys who didn't let their young age stop them from helping others, such as Matthew Kaplan, who responded to his brother's bullies by setting up an anti-bullying programme for schools. The Good Guys celebrates the feats of heroes and everyday men, and will show kids that it really is cool to be kind.
