In her international bestseller Strong Is the New Pretty (with
329,000 copies in print), the photographer Kate T. Parker changed
the way we see girls by showing us their truest selves - fearless,
messy, wild, stubborn, proud. Now it's time to talk about our boys.
Prompted by #metoo, school shootings, bullying, and other toxic
behaviour, there's a national conversation going on about what
defines masculinity and how to raise sons to become good people.
And Kate Parker is joining in by turning her lens to boys. The
result is possibly even more moving, more eloquent, more surprising
than Strong. The Heart of a Boy is a deeply felt celebration of
boyhood as it's etched in the faces and bodies of dozens of boys,
ages 5 to 18. There's the pensive look of a skateboarder caught in
a moment between rides. The years of dedication in a ballet
dancer's poise. The love of a younger brother hugging his older
brother. The unself-conscious joy of a goofy grin with a missing
tooth. The casual intimacy of two friends at a lemonade stand. The
shyness of a lone boy and his model boat. The intensity in a
football huddle. The proud, challenging gaze of a boy bald from
alopecia - and the same kind of gaze, but wreathed in tenderness,
of a boy a few years younger with flowing, almost waist-length
hair. There are guitarists, fencers, wrestlers, star-gazers, a
pilot - it's the world of our sons, in all their amazing variety
and difference. The photographs feel spontaneous, direct, and with
so much eye contact between the viewed and the viewer that it's
impossible to turn away. And throughout, words from the boys
themselves enrich every photo. What a gift for boys and anyone who
is raising them.
