  • Interest Level: Preschool
  • Reading Level: Kindergarten

I love my body. It’s special to me. It’s exactly the way it’s meant to be.

An empowering celebration of bodies, promoting body positivity such as gratitude for our puffy cheeks that help us eat; strength in our round bellies that help store our food; pride in our natural hair; appreciation for the color of our skin; and more.

This board book tackles common body insecurities by turning them into attributes to celebrate early on. The upbeat rhyming text paired with vibrant illustrations makes for an engaging read aloud whether at home or in the classroom.
