The Bare Naked Book has been a beloved fixture in libraries, classrooms, and at-home story times since its original publication in 1986. Now, this revised edition is ready to meet a new generation of readers. The text has been updated to reflect current understandings of gender and inclusion, which are also showcased in the brand-new, vibrant illustrations by Melissa Cho. Diversity and inclusion are celebrated throughout this new edition to help build early childhood acceptance of body types, sexualities.

The book's text and illustrations were reviewed and revised on the basis of equity, diversity, and inclusion by J. Wallace Skelton, an equity consultant, educator, writer, activist, and parent. Featuring a note from the author explaining the history of the book and the importance of this updated edition, readers will delight in this celebration of all kinds of bodies. (From Annick Press)
