From award-winning creators Susan Verde and Steph Littlebird comes an empowering celebration of the strength, diversity, worthiness, and beauty of our bodies.
Did you know your body is beautiful?
And not only is it beautiful—it is also unique, miraculous, wise, worthy, and 100% your own.
New York Times bestselling author Susan Verde (the I Am series) and acclaimed illustrator Steph Littlebird (My Powerful Hair) team up to celebrate all of the beautiful things our bodies can be and do: from mirroring the wonders in nature and carrying the stories of our ancestors, to speaking up for what they need, growing, dancing and more!
With an empowering, lyrical text and bold, vibrant illustrations, Body Beautiful feels like a hug for every body.
