extremely lucky to have him at the helm in their classroom. Growing
Up Great! captures Scott's energy, passion, and insight on how to

"Finally a book about puberty focused on boys! Written in a safe,
comfortable, yet humorous way, Scott answers the questions boys
need and want to know building self-confidence and the
understanding that 'change is good, and knowledge is power.' Not
only does Scott explain what's going on 'down there' and other
physical changes, but he includes the importance of social and
emotional health as boys develop into men; including topics such as
coping skills, mindfulness, and friendship. Growing Up Great! is a
must-read for young boys and their parents/guardians helping boys
appreciate their unique self."--Danielle Petrucci, M.Ed.,

"Scott's new book is essential reading for all boys going through
puberty! It's full of useful information and written in an engaging
style that's honed from Scott's experience as a middle school
health teacher. These days, it can be hard for teenagers to sift
through the overwhelming amount of information available to them
about puberty. Give them Scott's book, and they'll get the
accurate, age-appropriate information they need to thrive as they
mature from boys to young men."--Jeff Bartlett, Middle School
Health Educator
"This is the puberty book for boys that you have been waiting for.
It fills a much-needed gap in the market and approaches the sticky,
yucky, and wonderful elements of puberty that can be difficult to
navigate for teens and parents alike. Written in a wonderfully
empathetic style, this book echoes the author's own approach to
teaching and life. I appreciated the inclusive and nonjudgmental
nature of the book in terms of the materials covered, the
full-color illustrations, and importantly the language used
throughout."--Andy Milne, 2017 National Health Teacher of the
Year

Scott is a fantastic educator who knows how to connect with
students. His personality comes alive in this age-appropriate,

have had the pleasure to see Scott teach and I am thrilled to know
