I have not used the thread feature for Body Talk yet, but I’d like to try!
This month, I’d love for folks to help me compile their favorite body positive books for all ages. I am so thrilled that more and more books are available for kids, teens, and adults of all genders, and I am happy to buy these books and support other authors in whatever ways I can. So please help me make a list so all subscribers to Body Talk can share resources. I’m interested in books about body image but also eating and mental health in general. Please self-promote and add links to order (and pre-order!).
Arielle Dani Lebovitz for toddler through early childhood. Completely neutral messaging in food encyclopedias. Super interesting facts about food. She has coloring books and a book on descriptive words to use about food. Her IG @kid.food.explorers has a ton of food facts and games.
Thanks so much! Here are mine:
