Why read it?

1 author picked Body Happy Kids as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book because the author, Molly Forbes, is so relatable. She’s a mom trying to figure out all of this confusing stuff about body image, health, and well-being for her own sake and her kids.

I found this book to be very accessible and easy to read yet packed with valuable information and even hands-on activities. Perhaps I liked this book best because it feels authentic and hopeful. 

From Charlotte's list on raising body positive kids.
