A 2024 Rise: A Feminist Book Project Selection

"Ehlert and Tu offer a primer on body neutrality...The illustrations include enough kinds of people, all shown as friendly, rounded, and smiling, that nearly all readers will be able to point at someone and say, “That’s like me!” ...Honest, loving, and powerful."
-Kirkus (starred)

"The art is engaging and showcases the wide spectrum of fellow humans with varied, lively vignettes and spreads...This positive look at the differences we see and enjoy everywhere we look every day is an important viewpoint that should help children see differences that are to be celebrated in every corner of our world."
School Library Journal (starred)

"Employing digestible, body-neutral text in this necessary read, Ehlert explains many ways that bodies can look and behave as they “take us through the world.”.. Via sometimes abstract, sometimes fully detailed illustrations, Tu’s scribbly, thin-lined art depicts characters of various abilities, ages, body types, and skin tones."
