Your child is unhappy with how they look — their size, their skin, their hair, or just a growing sense of being wrong in the mirror. Pick the one that fits your child. Each one celebrates bodies exactly as they come and helps a child feel at home in theirs, and not one of them shames anyone for their size or holds up thin as the goal.
Pick by what your child is wrestling with. 'Bodies Are Cool' is the gentlest way in and the one to reach for first if you're not sure, a bright, no-pressure cheer for every kind of body, with nothing sad in it at all. 'The Skin You Live In' is for the child feeling their skin color makes them stand out. 'Big' speaks straight to the child who's been called too big or too much. 'Love Your Body' is a practical, hands-on guide for an older child, written to girls, who wants tools and not just comfort. And the two novels, 'Starfish' and 'Genesis Begins Again', are for an older reader ready to go all the way inside a character who's been shamed about her body, and come out the other side having chosen herself. The one rule across the whole shelf is that no book here treats a body as a problem to fix or makes thinness the prize.
