For Parents — A Gentle First Conversation About Bodies, Boundaries and Self-Acceptance
“My daughter loved the penguin and all the silly bits, especially the biscuit in the corner. I loved that the book talks about different bodies, needing space and listening to what your body needs in such a simple way.”
Your Body Belongs to You
Through everyday moments such as hugs, play and wanting a little space, young children can begin to understand that it is okay to notice what feels comfortable for them.
Every Body Can Be Different
The book celebrates variety in a warm, matter-of-fact way that young children can understand without turning difference into something unusual.
Learning to Listen to Your Body
The story helps children begin noticing these everyday needs and gives parents simple language for talking about rest, personal space and looking after ourselves.
Wiggle, Stomp, Laugh and Join In
That physical participation turns shared reading into something playful while helping younger children connect words with what their own bodies can do.
Finish by Celebrating Your Own Body
It gives the story a personal ending and turns the book into a gentle conversation about what makes each child uniquely themselves.
What other parents think:
“A lovely message without feeling like a lesson. My three-year-old mainly enjoys the actions and noises, but she has also started saying ‘my body belongs to me’, which was lovely to hear.”
“Simple, warm and genuinely useful. We have read lots of books about the body, but this feels much more about how children actually experience theirs — running, resting, needing hugs and sometimes wanting space.”
“The drawing page was a huge hit. My son immediately wanted to draw himself at the end. We ended up talking about his curly hair, his little tummy and all the things his body can do.”
“She now thanks her legs after running. Sweet, funny and very easy to read aloud. My daughter particularly likes naming all the things bodies can do and joining in with the wriggling and stomping.”
“Good for talking about personal space. The parts about sometimes wanting a hug and sometimes wanting space were especially useful for us. It explains the idea clearly without making it heavy.”
“A nice celebration of different bodies. My two children have very different personalities and bodies, so I appreciated the message that there is no single way a body should look or work.”
“Funny enough that they actually listen. My four-year-old laughs at the burping and the penguin trying to fly, while I quietly appreciate everything else the book is teaching.”
