Need book recommendations

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hey all, I could use some help finding a good children's book (or two) on the fact that people come in all different shapes, sizes and colors. My 4-year-old has been commenting (loudly) to me in the store about how big certain people are , and my explanation to her (that people come in different sizes, and that's okay) doesn't stop her from commenting loudly again the next time. I would really like a book that shows actual people, if possible. Thanks so much!!!

hmmm....i can help with the skin color part but i'm having trouble thinking of an "all different body types" book.

the skin you live in is a great book for kids your child's age. wonderful (yummy) descriptions of all different skin colors and it rhymes, to boot.

there is a book that's sort of on the tip of my brain...i used it in my classroom...that i think may have addressed body types. if i think of it, i will reply again.

I sell lots of books that depicts diversity but I'll have to look further to see if any of them show heavier people.

My son went through a period where he would loudly point out differences. It was very embarrassing (I'm quite heavy myself).

Edited to add: The book Someone I Like (on my website) is a good one. I'll update if I find more.
