All Kinds of: Bodies

Description

There are all kinds of bodies. They come in different shapes, colours and sizes and every body is completely unique. Our bodies are amazing things! They change as we get older. Different bodies are good at different things. What can your body do? This non-fiction picture book celebrates the different appearances and abilities people have, and is illustrated throughout with beautiful artwork. It covers bodies of different shapes and sizes, different shades of skin and styles of hair. It looks at how we communicate feelings and display talents and how our bodies tell us when they are unwell or need extra help. The book includes notes for teachers and parents on helping children to develop self esteem and empathy by understanding how people differ and how they are the same. The All Kinds Of series is aimed at children aged 5 and up and offers a friendly and inclusive look at how we live our lives, celebrating our differences as well as what we have in common. Titles in the four-book series are: All Kinds Of Beliefs, All Kinds Of Bodies, All Kinds Of Families and All Kinds Of Feelings.
