Ive ALWAYS been on the bigger side no matter what I've done. My daughter is the same way and I bought this book because we recently started tumbling classes and she is the only "bigger" body in her class. Everyone else is very petite and slim, which left her feeling....well feeling A LOT.
She couldn't do things as easy as the other girls.
I went searching for a book with examples of the things she's done (T ball, tumbling, dancing...)
And this was the perfect book.
I held my tear back reading it to her before bed tonight because we need more of this positivity in our daughters lives. Not everyone will achieve the "perfect body" look. Much of it is just pushed down our kids throats with everything we look at and this book really hit home and helped my daughter understand that HER BODY CAN
Do everything everyone else can do with some persistence and a positive attitude.

Look Inside Before You Buy Her Body Can Book.mp4

Bought this book for my 1 year old daughter to read and look at the pictures as she grows up. It’s so important for little girls to see themselves represented in pictures and stories like this. Buying this book for all my friends who have baby girls in the future!

The book is well made and nicely illustrated.
One line in the book reads, 'Her body can choose kale or cake --yummy, yummy! Food is her fuel and feels good in her tummy.' The corresponding illustration shows the gal in front of a huge display of desserts and sugary decadence, all while wearing a shirt that reads 'Kale.' I wish better choices were included here. Nearly every parent understands the battle of getting our children to make healthy choices even 50% of the time. I don't need my toddler equating kale to cake. Cake is certainly not what I would call 'fuel' either.
The book shows the main character wearing outfits that expose her belly often; where her shirts look too small. I don't want me daughter to expose her belly so casually in everyday outfits no matter what size she is.
I think I expected this book to be a little more diverse, to incorporate all sorts of body acceptance. There is a boy shown with a prosthetic leg and a girl in a hijab, but no other differences stood out in the drawings. I think illustrating even more people of ALL different sizes, shapes, abilities, and backgrounds would have been a tremendous compliment to this book.
Overall, we liked the book and messaging and will keep it in our collection.
Great concept, could have been much more diverse

I read this to my almost 4 year old last night because she's starting to notice differences in body shape and size.Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2020
