The most popular question any pregnant woman is asked -- aside from "When are you due?" -- has got to be "Are you having a girl or a boy?" When author Andrea Buchanan, already a mom to a little girl, was pregnant with her second child, she marveled at the response of friends and total strangers alike: "Boys are wonderful," "Boys are so much better than girls," "Boys love their mothers differently than girls."

Taking on topics like aggression, parenting a teenage boy, and wishing for a daughter but getting a son, "It's A Boy explores what it's like to mother sons and how that experience may be different, but no less satisfying, than mothering girls.
