Cengage Advantage Books: A Pocketful of Essays: Volume II, Thematically Arranged, Revised Edition Book

It's A Boy is a series of short essays by female authors (including Jodi Picoult and Jacquelyn Mitchard) on various aspects of being a woman and raising a boy. I found them, by and large, to be thoughtful, poignant and relatable. There were certain topics that didn't really pertain to me (having a boy after having a girl; dealing with a teenage boy) and others that really resonated with me (worrying about how to best raise a boy; watching your boy develop a definite preference for trucks and masculine items despite your desire to create a gender neutral atmosphere). I really enjoyed reading the collection and think it's one of those books that'd be a great gift for any mother of a son.
