The Book

This is an important and beautiful story that's loud and proud and celebrates YOU!

Kids ( and parents ) will welcome this book as it highlights body positivity and feeling comfortable in your own skin. It encourages healthy attitudes towards oneself and the fact that you are a unique and marvellous creation. Grown-ups will appreciate how to handle difficult situations when their children are faced with negative and insulting comments made by others towards them.

This is a love story... about loving yourself and having confidence to embrace who you really are. You are BIG BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL!

"I pull my shoulders back, and I walk with pride
Hiking with my Nana, going stride for stride.
Then I look in the mirror—and what do I see?
Big and bold and beautiful me!"

YESSSSSSSSS! YOU ARE!

This book encourages body positivity and the opportunity to discuss that we all come in different sizes and shapes... and that's perfectly fine! It packs a powerful and inspirational message that is much needed into day's world. The book with its rhyming prose is perfect for beginning readers to tackle. It would be an excellent asset in a classroom and elementary school library. The illustrations are lovely and greatly enrich the text. I highly, highly recommend this book.
