My One-of-a-Kind Body The Ultimate Guide to Caring For Me

Children aged 7-12 years-old will meet, relate to, and enjoy the diverse cast of friends at the fictional Camp Corazón in this book about bodies from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Kids will discover characters that remind them of themselves as well as characters who will challenge them to understand and empathize with others’ life experiences. While kids engage with the ups and downs of these vivid characters and their summer fun, pediatrician and mom Dr. Whitney Casares shares evidence-based guidance on physical and mental health, healthy habits, and body positivity. Vibrant, full-color illustrations and fun body facts will keep even reluctant readers turning pages and absorbing the important message that all bodies are good!
