Embrace Your Body
Taryn Brumfitt, Illustrated by Sinead Hanley
Written by the founder of the Body Image Movement, this bright, rhyming book encourages children to love and appreciate their bodies just as they are. It celebrates all kinds of bodies—short, tall, round, strong, bendy, freckled—and the amazing things they can do.
Why It’s Included
This book reflects our deep commitment to body acceptance, diversity, and kindness to self. It provides a powerful antidote to body shaming and unrealistic ideals, supporting a foundation of confidence and respect from the earliest years.
Who It’s For
Best suited for children aged 3 to 8. A helpful addition to homes, schools, and health settings—especially valuable for children already noticing or commenting on body differences. It’s joyful, positive, and gently radical in its message of unconditional self-worth.
