Through her trademark quirky monster characters, author Elise Gravel illustrates ways that bodies can be different. They have different shapes, different sizes, different colours, different hair, and can do different things. These differences make everybody's bodies special, but all bodies should be respected.

Your body is YOURS, so give it a hug...but only if you want to. This important message of body positivity will both empower and entertain. The best body is the one that belongs to you! (From North Winds Press)

It's My Body! is for ages 3 to 8.

Elise Gravel is a Quebec author and illustrator. She is the author of several books for children, including The Bat, The Worst Book Ever, The Mushroom Fan Club, I Want a Monster! and What Is a Refugee.
