Love Your Body by Jessica Sanders
5.0

What an incredible book, I'm so glad to have been given a copy of this for my school library.

I'm not usually a big fan of self help or self-love books. I find them patronising, or they only highlight ideas that will work for one specific 'normal' person (no consideration for nuerodivergent minds for example).

This was a breath of fresh air and I'm excited books like this exist for children now.

The illustrations are what particularly caught my attention. I am still in awe of the amount of diverse bodies they managed to represent within these pages. They didn't shy away from giving realistic diversity, having girls with acne, freckles, stretch marks and vitiligo as well as physical diversity like limb differences, dwarfism, prosthetics and body size.

More please!
