Kids will delight in reading Big, Bold, Beautiful Me and find themselves marching along and standing side-by-side protagonists just like them who portray body positivity in a loud, proud, and very fun way.
Grown-ups will welcome the message of healthy attitudes when facing negative or derogatory comments of others. Together it is a valuable resource for young readers to confidently embrace who they are with big bold beautiful appeal to teachers, librarians, counselors, and parents, too.
I pull my shoulders back, and I walk with pride
Hiking with my Nana, going stride for stride.
Then I look in the mirror—and what do I see?
Big and bold and beautiful me!
Body positivity shines through a jaunty rhyming text…Individual examples are then followed by the hearty refrain “When I look in the mirror,/ what do I see?// Big and bold and beautiful me!” Burgett’s images effectively use mirrors to depict the kids’ attitude shifts as they share their stories—from initial peering to celebrating their own reflection. As the expressive children, one by one, gather to play at a nearby park, readers may well be feeling the cheerful undercurrent of affirmation and support. Ages 4–8. -- Publishers Weekly
An upbeat, uncomplicated ode to bodies that are big, thick, broad, and boundless. -- Kirkus Reviews
