The book does a beautiful job of describing the loss that boys feel when they are denied the companionship of the feminine side of God and, consequently, a healthy relationship with women in their lives. It is not a book that bashes men or masculinity; instead, it exposes the wounds caused by gender stereotyping and patriarchal religion, while leaving readers full of hope for reclaiming an Edenesque harmony between men and women. This is an ideal companion to the earlier books in this series, \u003ci\u003eThe Girl God\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMother Earth\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Monette Chilson, author of \u003ci\u003eSophia Rising\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Another gem from Trista Hendren and Elisabeth Slettnes.

The conversation between mother and son at the beginning of the book, and the quotes and artwork throughout, provide a wonderful context for explaining to boys that the story of why things are the way they are isn't about blaming boys or men, but about recognizing history and healing it, for the good of all. -Liz Hall Magill, Author of \u003ci\u003eDefining Sexism in the U.S.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrista Hendren and Elisabeth Slettnes have created another significant book that is a piece of art as well as a good story. The message, important for both boys and girls: treat each other with kindess and respect, as equals. I love the surprise, several pages in, when after the mother has given her son all kinds of worthy advice, the boy becomes exasperated. He knows all this, he says; he just wants a story about why the world is the way it is. And she shifts into telling the tale. The colorful, dramatic illustrations are intriguing and once again the quotations from noted names add richness. -Marilyn McFarlane, Author of \u003ci\u003eSacred Stories: Wisdom from World Religions\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrista Hendren has done it again.
