By Tyler Feder
A bouncy rhyming parade of bodies of every size, color, and ability, and every one gets cheered just as it is.
Page after page, this book throws a party for bodies. Tall bodies and round bodies, bodies in wheelchairs, bodies with hearing aids, freckled skin and brown skin and skin with scars, curly hair, buzzed hair, and no hair at all. In bouncy rhyme, every single one gets the same message: your body is cool, just the way it is. There's no lesson to sit through and nothing sad to brace for, just a bright, loud, welcoming cheer for the whole human family, your child's body included.
For a child who's started to feel wrong in their own skin, this is about the gentlest place to begin. It never once mentions being teased or feeling bad; it just fills every page with bodies of every size, color, and ability, all treated as equally great, so your child finds their own kind of body in the crowd and sees it belongs. You can read it to a four-year-old and still hand it to an older child on a hard week.
