Konstruksi verbal dan visual mengindikasi maskuliniti yang bermasalah.Teks menunjukkan bahwa lingkungan social menuntut sifat-sifat maskulin seperti menjadi jantan, berani dan terang-terangan, sementara tokoh utama Boy di cerita ini digambarkan sebagai anak laki-laki dengan karakter yang bertentangan dengan tuntutan lingkungan sosial. Orangtua Boy mengharapkan dia untuk menunjukkan sifat-sifat maskulin seperti berani, teguh, dan lain-lain, sementara sifat-sifat maskulin itu bertentangan dengan identitas dirinya sendiri seperti takut pada gelap dan lain-lain. Oleh karena itu buku ini menunjukkan banyak bentuk dari maskuliniti. This research investigates the masculinity traits in Hans Wilhelm’s picture book A Cool Kid Like Me.
