Bodies are Cool is all about body positivity. Each body is different in its own way and should be celebrated instead of made fun of. There are so many different distinctions between bodies, that it is impossible to have the same body as someone else. No matter how you look or how you define your body, all bodies are beautiful. This book will absolutely be in my library in my future classroom. Body image is such an important topic that is not spoken about as much as it should. Even in a younger classroom, I believe that it is important to lay down the principle that all bodies are amazing and beautiful. I would read this book as a part of a conversation about the difference between the students and the people around them.

Utterly delightful. This book is incredibly easy to read aloud, and each page filled with vibrant illustrations that provide a joyful celebration of many variations of the human body. Plus bodies ARE cool.

Finally - a picture book about bodies that isn't just about loving yourself. Rather, this colorful celebration of different kinds of bodies truly embraces all kinds of representations. The book depicts bodies of all manner of sizes engaged in all kinds of activities, from swimming to walking down the street. I love that the book includes not only different races, but different gender presentations, abilities, as well as depicting different physical characteristics (such as body hair, glasses, and birthmarks). My only quibble is that the illustrations can sometimes come off as cartoony and dilutes the overall positive, enthusiastic spirit of the book. Overall an inclusive addition to any picture book collection.

I loved this book so much! It radiates body positivity, diversity, acceptance and confidence. An essential read, especially as little ones start to discover the differences in people's appearances.
