LoveReading4Kids Says
Packed with fascinating facts and body-positive messages, Beth Cox’s All Bodies Are Wonderful really is a wonder when it comes to introducing 7+-year-olds to a variety of topics around the human body. Add to that Samantha Meredith’s energetic, characterful illustrations, and splendid design that invites engagement, and this book amounts to an inclusive, informative treasure that’s ideal for home bookshelves and school libraries alike.
Setting the positive tone, the book opens with a gorgeous inclusive message — “This book is a celebration of ALL bodies…Because you are incredible!” From here, we discover that we’re basically made of stardust, and the wow-factor fact that “the atoms in you today will have once been in dinosaurs and dogs, bacteria and trees.”
After presenting a lucid overview of DNA, and how we develop from a single cell, Cox explains gene changes, and how some of us might be born with different bodies as a result. We also discover how the world shapes us.
Radiating an inspiring message about the naturalness of difference, All Bodies Are Wonderful will help adults have big conversations with little ones, and foster an inclusive, caring outlook.
