This short picture book for children sets out some simple and important ideas. Our bodies tell us how we feel, when we are hungry, and when we need to go to the bathroom.  It also says that adults should listen to children when they talk about how their bodies feel.  We can tune into our bodies to see how they are feeling.  Our bodies are wonderful, and we need to take care of them.  All bodies are different and we should respect those differences.  We should not feel bad about our bodies.  The words are accompanied by fun pictures illustrating these ideas.  It is possible that this book could be useful.
