International Doula Month - Book Club : Steve Biddulph, Raising Boys

My mum sent me Raising Boys after we spoke about the challenges of childcare. Looks like it might help us on this mission to raise a strong, gentle, happy, healthy, kind, feminist man. Also, it'll be nice to have someone to blame when we cock it up.
