Children’s first view of the human body is often from their experience with their family members. This is also when positive or negative body images can begin to form. This book, Bodies are Cool, is a wonderful book that celebrates living in a world where humans have different body shapes, various hair types, and where different shades of skin are beautiful.

Food often sits at the heart of community gatherings. A moment to share a meal, exchange stories, and feel connected. Fry Bread beautifully honors this spirit. It tells the story of how traditions are passed from one generation to the next, inviting young readers to become future storytellers who carry forward their heritage, culture and family history.
