I have a body. You have a body.

But your body is different from mine.

Why? Because it is all yours.

You are in charge of your body.

So says the wise Dr. Ruth as she helps animals who each need her sage advice. Ruth helps an octopus learn to assert itself, a crocodile feels more comfortable with its bumpy body, and a rabbit, turtle, and ant discover and appreciate their strengths. Full of humor and warmth, Ruth's lessons about body image, confidence and standing up for yourself shine through in this relatable, age-appropriate tale.

Fun activities are included after each story, and will delight young readers as they stretch, draw, and dance their way through these important ideas. They'll feel empowered to connect to their own strengths, too.
