My One-of-a-Kind Body

will help kids aged 7-12 embrace their own bodies, appreciate others' differences, and learn to take care of the only body they’ve got. This book about bodies engages young readers with the diverse cast of friends at the fictional Camp Corazón. Kids will discover characters that remind them of themselves as well as characters who will challenge them to understand and empathize with others' life experiences.

While kids engage with the ups and downs of these vivid characters and their summer fun, pediatrician and mom Dr. Whitney Casares shares evidence-based guidance on physical and mental health, healthy habits, and body positivity. With playful, inclusive illustrations and age-appropriate language, My One-of-a-Kind Body invites children to explore the incredible ways their bodies help them learn, play, feel, and grow. It’s the perfect first step for families who want to raise body-literate kids — grounded in self-awareness, curiosity, and respect — not shame or unrealistic expectations.

Vibrant, full-color illustrations and fun body facts will keep even reluctant readers turning pages and absorbing the important message that all bodies are good!
