review:
'Stories for Boys Who Dare to Be Different' by Ben Brooks with illustrations by Quinton Winter is a book of short biographies of men who changed the world with alternate methods to violence.
There are 77 one page biographies in this book. There are feminists, pacifists, men who were gay or otherwise oppressed and men who changed the world in other non-violent ways. The names featured include Alan Turing, Bill Gates, and Tank Man, among many others.
Each biography includes a great full color illustration (my favorite is the one for Frederick Douglass). The title including the word 'Stories' might be a tad misleading since this is all non-fiction, but the stories are compelling and interesting, for the most part.
