A picture book edition of the board book about body liberation, offering adults the opportunity to begin important conversations with young children in an informed, safe, and supported way—adapted for audio!
Developed by experts in the fields of early childhood and activism against injustice, this topic-driven audiobook offers clear, concrete language to introduce the concept of BODY LIBERATION. This audiobook serves to celebrate the uniqueness of your body and all bodies, and addresses the unfair rules and ideas that currently exist about bodies. It ends with motivational action points for making the world more fair for all!
While young children are avid observers and questioners of their world, adults often shut down or postpone conversations on complicated topics because it's hard to know where to begin. Research shows that talking about issues like race and gender from the age of two not only helps children understand what they see, but also increases self-awareness, self-esteem, and allows them to recognize and confront things that are unfair, like discrimination and prejudice.
These books offer a supportive approach that considers both the child and the adult.

      PreS-Gr 1-Jaunty music opens and closes this informative title, engagingly narrated by Corin, a nonbinary podcast host and storyteller who proves to be a splendid cipher for both the youngest and oldest ears. Only the first third of the recording is the actual "book," which Corin transforms into a supportive, inspiring affirmation of all kinds of bodies, specifically directed at youthful audiences-because, indeed, "Everybody has a body." The rest-"Continue the conversation" resources, as well as Madison and Ralli's authors' note (which appears prominently up front in print)-is meant for adult ears-caregivers, parents, teachers, anyone concerned about encouraging and enabling healthy relationships with every kind of body. VERDICT Libraries should offer all formats to promote read-alongs: seeing images of diverse bodies (thanks to artist Tequitia Andrews's inclusive, inviting illustrations) is undoubtedly an empowering experience for all ages.
