A Kids Book About Body Image

Interesting

Although the book does have some good points in accepting your body, I do not agree with using the word "fat" to describe your own or someone else's body. I do understand it's a descriptive word just like "skinny", but I also think that's not necessarily too nice to use either particularly when someone feels embarrassed, sad or overwhelmed with their body. May be right for some families, unfortunately was not a perfect fit for ours.

Great for middle schoolers too!

I read this to my middle school girls' group on self-esteem and it seemed to resonate with them. They also enjoyed the last bit where the mantra is "I am who I am who I am who I am who I am who I am...". Thank you for these great books!
