What's the Story?
With rhymes starting with every letter of the alphabet, B IS FOR BELLIES is a celebration of body positivity and inclusion, reminding readers to enjoy the body they have and what it lets them do, as well as offering ways to care for your body. Throughout the pages, people are dancing, playing, resting, eating, and more, showing all the ways that our bodies are unique and wonderful.
Is It Any Good?
This remarkable picture book, full of rhymes, colors, and inclusive illustrations, is a fantastic way for young readers to learn about body positivity. B Is for Bellies uses simple but powerful phrases to emphasize that bodies change and jiggle and have muscles and also need fuel and rest. There are people of all body types, shapes, and skin tones, some are missing limbs or in a wheelchair, as they go to the beach, play, lay down, eat, and reflect. The pictures are bright and lively, and the tone is perfectly right for encouraging conversations and planting the seed that all bodies are good and should be respected.
