The intensity of two boys' feelings for each other threatens to be overwhelmed by family tensions that rip them apart before their relationship even starts. Mateo's father is overly obsessed with his fifteen-year-old son's baseball achievements to the exclusion of other interests (manga, indie rock music, and Stick—the boy from the "troubled" family down the street, the one with thirteen children of mixed races). Mateo's mother comes from a sprawling Puerto Rican family that provides little privacy and complicated support as Mateo and his father clash over a baseball injury that jeopardizes his season. Down the street, Stick is dealing with the sudden loss of his father and living up to an image he believes his father saw in himself, one that wasn't gay, which drives him to drink and do drugs beyond anything he and Mateo have experimented. They come together and fall apart. Like a mantra, Mateo repeats the words from one of the band's songs whenever he gets hurt or afraid: I WILL BE OKAY. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work.

This inspiring debut picture book from The View cohost—and new mom!—Abby Huntsman explores the value of service and the extraordinary power of giving back. When Isabel’s teacher asks her students who they want to be when they grow up, Isabel doesn’t have an answer. Isabel knows it makes her happy to help her friends, neighbors, and family—but can a person really grow up to be a helper? It’s time for Isabel to open her eyes and her heart and see all the different jobs people do: the police officers, firefighters, soldiers, teachers, doctors, and clergy who dedicate their lives to helping people every day.With heartwarming words by The View cohost Abby Huntsman and stunning pictures by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff, this uplifting story is for any parent who wants to inspire strong values in their child: giving back, helping others, and serving your community.

How does a mother respond to her son's simple question? What does the future hold for him? There are no simple answers, no one option, no right path – he could choose to be anything he wants. He could follow his passion or give up anytime, and if one way seems to limit him, he could blend them all. The world is his, if only he remembers the secret that mama has to share.
