Sincere but not sappy, this bittersweet and affecting meditation on the author’s experiences also serves as a heartfelt celebration of her mother’s life.” — Horn Book How to ensure accessibility becomes your standard practice, from everyday communication to planning special events A bustling celebration of body positivity that lovingly features bodies, skin, and hair of all kinds. A bustling celebration of body positivity that lovingly features bodies, skin, and hair of all kinds . . . Feder chooses clear and unapologetic language to describe body characteristics, challenging the negative connotations that are often attached to those bodies . . . Depicting societally marginalized human bodies in all their joyful, normal glory, this book is cool." — Kirkus, starred review

Bodies are Cool is the most amazing body-positive book for children I've ever read. Written and illustrated by Tyler Feder (creator of the incredible graphic memoir Dancing at the Pity Party), the book includes positive, inclusive illustrations of all kinds of human bodies. A] smart, sassy field guide for feminists. . . . Unapologetic and witty, this work is a great choice for followers of Jennifer Baumgardner and Roxane Gay but will also appeal to young adults and graphic novel fans.” - Library Journal, starred reviewOn two readings, I don’t think I saw a single person with albinism. Again, given how thorough the book usually seemed, this was a surprise. I really wish it weren’t the case. This book presents a fuller, more colorful view of humanity to children, humanity that is all all around us, humanity that is too often cropped out, left out, never shown, rarely included. If people are created in God's image, that image is colorful and full of shapes and sizes and decorations and swirls and dots and hard parts and soft parts and jiggly parts and hairy parts. Bodies are cool shows how cool that image really might begin to be if more bodies are included in the picture. The pastel-toned illustrations effectively convey Feder's youth and the intensity of her emotions while emphasizing the ultimate message of survival and resilience in the face of life-changing grief. Cathartic and uplifting." — Kirkus Depicting societally marginalized human bodies in all their joyful, normal glory, this book is cool.

Authored by podcasters Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin, this field guide is part intersectional feminist history and part practical how-to for modern feminists. I adore everything about this picture book. With rhyming text and bright, playful illustrations, this book is sure to be a hit during read-alouds. What I love most though is it’s message, of course. I’ve gone through it twice and tried to analyze every single detail of this work because a book with this type of cover *has* to get it right. Tyler Feder nailed it! Representation is everything and I can’t think of a person who won’t be able to see themself in this book, which is why it should be read widely. Bonus: the obvious sense of community across generations, ethnicities, gender, and tradition. Feder takes readers along on the nightmare road trip that nobody wants to make in a frank and funny, intimate and poignant graphic novel . . . The narrative, in peppily solid panel art, is exceptionally articulate and accessible." — BCCB, starred review From two Nobel Peace Prize winners, an invitation to look past sadness and loneliness to the joy that surrounds us.There were many different kinds of fat bodies. There were taut fat bellies, and there were bellies with multiple low-hanging rolls. Growing bodies, aging bodies, features-rearranging bodies, magic ever-changing bodies.
