Editorial Reviews
"Finally, a book that weaves in the correct terminology for genitals with all other body parts. Your Whole Body will teach children the names of the body parts from head to toe, normalizing words that are often uncomfortable for adults to say."

"Your Whole Body is a beautiful celebration of the human body written and illustrated in a way that is fun, accessible, and easy for parents and children to read together. Lizzie and Misha have created a wonderfully gender-neutral and racially diverse resource that I would be happy to give to any child, parent, or patient. Thank you!"

This book hits all the marks for providing accurate, inclusive, shame-free body literacy education! The illustrations are diverse, include representation of different abilities, and the book does not gender bodies."

"Your Whole Body is a beautiful tool to help children learn about all the parts of their body. I love that each page includes basic information palatable for even the youngest of readers and also more specific information for those more curious about the specifics of the human body. As a child sexual abuse prevention advocate and educator, I am thrilled to be able to recommend a book for children that covers all parts of human anatomy, including genitalia. It is so essential in empowering children that we do not make these most private parts of their body feel "taboo". Thank you Lizzie & Misha for this much needed resource!"

"What a wonderful book! So thorough, inclusive and accessible for kids to understand. Kids are naturally curious about bodies and this is a great way to introduce them to the details that most books for kids don't cover. The way the book is laid out makes it very natural to feature genitalia in a shame-free and anatomically correct way. Lizzie gets it right! I definitely recommend this book for their abuse prevention library."
