I have a body. You have a body.
But your body is different from mine.
Why? Because it is all yours.
You are in charge of your body.
So says the wise Dr. Ruth as she helps out animals who each need her sage advice. Ruth helps an octopus learn to assert itself, a crocodile feel more comfortable with its bumpy body, and a rabbit, turtle, and ant discover and appreciate their strengths. Full of humor and warmth, Ruth's lessons about body image, confidence and standing-up for yourself shine through in this relatable, age appropriate tale.
Fun activities are included after each story, and will delight young readers as they stretch, draw and dance their way through these important ideas. They'll feel empowered to connect to their own strengths, too.
