About This Book
Did you know your body is beautiful?
And not only is it beautiful—it is also unique, miraculous, wise, worthy, and 100% your own.
New York Times bestselling author Susan Verde (the I Am series) and acclaimed illustrator Steph Littlebird (My Powerful Hair) team up to celebrate all of the beautiful things our bodies can be and do: from mirroring the wonders in nature and carrying the stories of our ancestors, to speaking up for what they need, growing, dancing, and more!
Why I Love This Story
Thank you to Abrahms Publishing for the review copy
Body Beautiful by Susan Verde is a stunning story that celebrates the differences and beauty in bodies. Each page focuses on a different verb that models body positivity. The lyrical text encourages readers to see that their bodies are unique and should be celebrated. The illustrations by Steph Littlebird are rendered in bright, detailed colors that bring the story’s words to life. As a teacher, I was thrilled to see that diversity and different abilities were both showcased in the illustrations. This is truly a story that serves as mirrors and windows for students. The back of the book includes notes from the author and illustrator, which added another layer of sweetness to the book. This is a charming book that should be in everyone’s classroom and home library.
