1. I want to hug this book and never let go.
2. Everyone need to have this book on their collection.

Seriously, this book. Can we have more books like this?
As someone who's dealing with body issues growing up, I wish this book was exist back then.
What a wonderful, amazing book. Thank you for writing this book. I sincerely hope this book would be translated to as many languages as possible.

Loved this book! My daughter may still be a bit young to understand all of it but she enjoyed it a lot too. The empowering message about healthy body image, positivity and self esteem is so important and done so well throughout the book. I adored the illustrations so much. Definitely a perfect book for any woman, young or old. Thanks so much for the copy of this wonderful book Jessica Sanders, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books.

An amazing, positive book. I wish I had this when growing up. It’s sends such a positive message of self love and self acceptance and this should be forced down our throats as much as the diet Industry is, I can only hope things continue to change for the better as the existence of this book itself shows things are. Please schools and libraries stock this for young women (and boys need their own version too) Fabulous and thoroughly recommended to all young women and those older of us who need to be reminded we are how we are meant to be and should be proud.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

A charming, cheerful and crucial celebration of beautiful bodies and all the incredible and impressive things they can do and achieve, Love Your Body is the ultimate feel-good book of 2020!

This was a great book about body positivity for young women. The illustrations by Rosetti were exquisite and the text was positive, affirming, and smart. I would have liked to have seen something about exercise and diet in here, but it really didn't go that far. And by diet, I do not mean idiotic and ultimately useless schemes to 'lose pounds'. I mean nothing more than healthy eating.

One of the most crucial things about body positivity is taking positive care of your body regardless of how you feel about it or what shape it's in when you decide you're finally going to take charge of your life. An important part of loving yourself is taking care of yourself and I wish more books of this nature would make that point more forcefully.

That's my only complaint though. That and maybe a warning about mega-corporations owned by old white men who think they are somehow gifted arbiters of how young women ought to look, dress, shave, think, and make-up their faces!

Everything else about this book I loved! The illustrations made it clear that everyone was included, no matter their height, weight, skin color, religious beliefs, body shape, or physical abilities. It offered useful suggestions on how to approach those negative thoughts we all have from time to time, and ways to combat them, and it offered some contact information in the back in case you need it. But the real message here is that you got this! You're in charge. You can do it. And I believe that. I commend this book as a worthy read.

This is a wonderful book for the young ladies in your life. Not only does it express body positivity, and represents all bodies, but it addresses that women are so much more than the way they look. The recommended age is appropriate, and it was refreshing and necessary to see so much inclusion when addressing abilities, body types, race, etc. The representation was amazing. The illustrations follow the text well, and is done in a way that is also inviting. Great read!

Love Your Body - Jessica Sanders

I thought this book was amazing.
When I first began reading an ARC copy of Love Your Body, the title led me to believe that it was going to be another addition to the vast number of amazing books out there for kids all about the human body. But oh no, this is something so much more.
This book is aimed at young women in particular. It goes through loving yourself, your body and your differences. Most importantly it tells the reader that it is okay to feel sad or bad or strange or different. But instead of leaving it there Sander’s book goes one step further and advises these young women of how to find help and who to talk too. In this modern age of social media. Sexting and rising mental health problems (especially amongst children) this book is the perfect anecdote. It would make a great starter for a PSHE lesson or sex Ed’ topic.

This was probably the cutest little book I've read. And not only is it cute, it has a very important message - love your body as it is. This book might be aimed for young girls first and foremost, but it is a great addition to any womans house and library. We all need to be reminded that we are great the way we are and this book can do just that.

Very good tips and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. Love the diversity. The book really shows that ALL bodies are beautiful.

Lovely book, I wish something like this was around when I was younger.

Love Your Body is a beatifully illustrated book for young girls, who need a little advice around their changing bodies. The illustrations show diverse bodies, and the author's tone is very kind, accepting and calming.

I would definitely recommend this book, might buy a copy for my little sister too.
Thank you netgalley for the opportunity!

This beautifully illustrated book speaks tenderly to girls of all -- empowering them to view themselves and their bodies as unique, different, good, as uniquely beautiful and worthy of self-love.
The message is clear-- all bodies are good bodies. The uniqueness of your body is to be celebrated. Your body is incredible.

This book will speak clearly to all girls and women, gently empowering them to love their bodies. This book will make a great gift and addition to any library.

SELF LOVE!
SELF CARE!

A beautiful picture book about the journey of a girls body during puberty and growing up. The impact those changes on the outside can have on our insides. It stresses the importance of self acceptance. Also, practicing self care and self love should start sooner rather than later, and should be part of your life routine.

The illustrations are wonderful. Capturing all different types of body types, hairstyles and dress styles. Highlighting the theme that being yourself is great. Always be you! To always love yourself, inside and outside. A great message that can be read by not only adolescent girls but all ages of women.

*Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens via Edelweiss+ for the digital review copy!

Let me start off my saying I wish I'd had a book like this growing up. It shows girls many different ways to appreciate your body and to practice self love. There are different activities suggested to promote self love. But my favorite thing about this book was letting the reader know it's ok to ask for help if you are not loving yourself. The author also gave a list of resources in the back of the book you can contact for additional help. Would definitely recommend!

Short children's book with amazing inspirational illustrations. I wish this existed when I was a child and was still inspirational and uplifting at any age. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

4 out of 5 🌟 The ultimate feel-good book

Jessica Sanders wrote an ultimate feel-good-book with tips on how to feel great in our body and how to cheer yourself up when feeling a little down.
The book is encouraging to seek help if needed and providing helpful addresses and advice. It teaches you to love your body with all its strengths and flaws and reminds you of all cool and beautiful things people can archive because of their bodies.
The most important lesson the book carries is to listen to your body and act the way you feel, without good and bad answers. 'Love Your Body' empowers readers to trust their intuition and best judgment to practice self-care.

<q>"Use your body to live your life in whatever way you choose and know that you are always worthy of love and respect."</q>

'Love Your Body' also shows importance or one's mind and feelings and learn how to start your journey on the self-love path.

The watercolor illustrations that decorate this book are adorable and heartwarming. They make the whole publication more friendly and approachable for readers from different age groups. I also love the female-empowering message the book carries which makes it an excellent gift for young girls.

*Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and feelings are my own.*

Though this book is aimed at young girls to help develop healthy self image, it is possible for anyone to identify with not just girls.

With illustrations it is apparent what this book is trying to achieve. Not only dose this book transcend gender, races, age and sexual orientation it proves the times in which we live in. It is sad to say that in 2020 the most socially acceptably body type is that of a slim woman or muscular man. This book shows its readers that this does not need to be that case. Not only should we except our physical form but it also reminds us that our bodies are not just for looking at, they are here to preform necessities.

This book is easy to follow and gives the reader a clear understanding throughout. I found its hints and tips especial interesting and the illustrations depicted a verity of people not just one archetype.

As someone who grow up with even their mother jeering their physical form this was such an emotional read, It was everything I wish I had been told growing up, particularly as I have an "Invisible" Disability. I never felt comfortable in my skin as a child, I always felt alien. Back then I was skinny and now I am over weight so I have never found comfort. I am aware of my self image issues and just reading this book showed me that I can change my way of thinking and that as my condition will worsen (As my disability is degenerative and will stop being invisible and be come visible) My attitude towards my body does not have to be negative and it can change as my body does.

I would definitely say this book is not just for kids. I am 33 and I feel like buying this for myself.

I wish I could hand this to every child to read, including my younger self. Pairing beautiful illustrations with inspiring quotes and advice about body image, this book is perfect for anyone wanting to inspire confidence in their children.

A book about body positivity for girls.

Growing up, changing from girl to woman is tough. Lots of young women have problems growing into their body, loving themselves, accepting themselves and their bodies as they are. This book may help seeing the great things our bodies can do. May help accepting yourself, finding self-care routines, learning to ask for help, find your style.

The illustrations are very good, they show bodies of every size and colour, focusing on the positive! I loved seeing hairy armpits and stretchmarks - well-done!

I have to admit, I felt a bit emotional reading this beautiful book. The words are lovely and the inclusive illustrations are perfect. Even as an adult woman, it was a nice reminder for me, so I can only imagine the help/impact this will have for younger individuals. I think this would be great for my goddaughter but will discuss with her mom before ordering.
It feels a shame that books like this are needed and are therefore so impactful. This book is stunning and I’ll be sharing my feelings with all my parent friends... might even buy myself a copy!

I would 100 percent give this to a little girl in elementary school to help point out that all bodies should be celebrated (no matter their size or what they look like). The artwork is incredible, with really beautiful images of tons of different body types. The message of acceptance is so powerful, and I feel like it could be super beneficial to girls right before their bodies change to get the message that they're beautiful no matter what. This is a great children's book!

Goodreads Review-Thank you to Net Galley for a copy of this book.

Bodies are amazing. Bodies can do hard things. Practice self-care. Recognize that you are more than your body. Wow. This is an amazing book that I will be purchasing to read again and again to my daughter. The author's studies in gender and social work influence this text with beautiful pictures of body positivity, examples of self care, ways to identify if negative self-talk is occurring, and resources to help when times are hard. This is a book that all should read and believe and espouse. Our bodies are amazing and to be celebrated. Thank you for writing a book that does just that.
