generally i have little interest in books for parents, not least because i am not a parent and my instinct is always to take the child's side, because i remember being a frustrated child and also i'm a communist who's dubious of the nuclear family structure. but i was deeply impressed by how empathetic this book is to parents and children alike*, and how understanding sole-smith is about the conundrums parents face even as she remains uncompromisingly committed to fat liberation.

Highly recommend this text to really understand antifatness, fat phobia, and how you might be part of the problem by simply existing in a society that is so prolifically antifat or anti larger bodies. I particularly like the intentionally ways the author consistently grapples with issues related to race, ethnicity and SES in how we both talk about and experience fatness.
This book is well researched and is a great resource for adults to who wish to have encouraging, body-positive conversations with young people. I wish that the adults in my life had been given this information when I was young. This book challenged me as a teacher and will guide the way I conduct my classes and conversations about bodies in the future. I highly recommend this to all who interact with young people. We should be creating safe spaces for all bodies to exist.
