Each individual spread in the book is fun and filled with love, encouraging the self-love that this book centers around, but the progression of the art is particularly special. Early spreads focus on the individual features mentioned by the written text, but as the book continues we see more and more of the body. The effect is both that the text trusts the reader more and more to pick up on what specific feature is being celebrated with fewer and fewer visual clues -- which seems like an early literacy step  for artistic literacy -- and also that we see more and more how the body as a whole comes together in a perfect way to help us live and love ourselves and others.
