All of them are good bodies! BODIES ARE COOL!"
Reviews:
[T]his unabashed promotion of body positivity packs a punch and reminds readers to respect and love every body--including their own. This is a timely message with universal applications. -- Booklist
This inclusive book shows and celebrates all types of bodies in the park, in the pool, at a party--everywhere. That's exactly where all our bodies are . . . . It's truly transformative not only to be seen by others but to see yourself. To see yourself just as you are. To see yourself included. To see your body as good, as cool . . . a great resource to start conversations about fatphobia and anti-fat bias and to help a kid struggling with their self-image. --Lisa Fipps, author of Starfish
