Wow! What a great book! I wish I had this one when my kids were little.

Did not like the book at all. I get the point they are trying to make that people come in all sizes, but I could but help having a creepy feeling the whole way through. Lots of illustrations of people in skimpy underwear and bathing suits. Not something I will be letting any of my kids read. I’d rather they read something that promotes being healthy. I like the idea that people look different and that’s a good thing, but this book didn’t accomplish that.

This was so cute! The artwork is beautiful and fantastic to pour over, the repetitive message is simple but effective, and the inclusion is heart-warming. I enjoyed this!

Representation matters! From limb differences to disabilities to top surgery scars, this incredible book has it all! All bodies are good bodies

I really enjoyed reading the eBook that is interactive with the author narrating it. This books shows different types of bodies repeating through the all book that "bodies are cool". I've never seen that many different bodies (size, age, with an handicap), with different: skin tones (color, freckles, rosy-patched, dark/light skin) and scars, types of hair (on top of the head and on the rest of the body, even for women), types of eyes (colors, wearing glaces, blind), types of tummies, etc. It's an excellent way to show to your kid that there are so many possibilities, all beautiful in their own way. The important being in the end, to love yourself and your body, no matter its shape. Such an amazing message.

I would definitely love to buy this book for my nephew if it gets a french translation.

This book had a great message and was very representative of different people/bodies in the world. I read this with my tween son and he was a tad bit uncomfortable reading it but I wanted to impress upon him the importance of body positivity and diversity.

This book talks about all different types of bodies, and it explains that all bodies are cool the way they are. I love how this book has different types of people on every page. It is not a diverse book that just African Americans or Asian Americans would see themselves in, but rather it is a book that every kid in my class would see themselves in on every page. I could see myself using this for a read aloud when studying different body parts.
