Everybody Has a Body

Author: Jon Burgerman

Lots of brightly coloured blobby creatures inhabit this cheerful picture book all about different kinds of bodies and the fact that each body is good in its very own way. The rhymes and pictures show us big ones, little ones, wide or thin, weak or strong, hairy or smooth, old or young – they are all here, and they are all special. The ‘strong’ one is particularly fun as it shows us a blobby in a wheelchair holding up an elephant with one hand, making it clear that strength can be seen in different ways. Humour and chaos and colour make this a true frolic. ‘Being different is nothing new. It makes us special and makes you…you!’
