Editorial Review
SLJ Review of Brilliant Bodies
Charming easy readers that utilize areas of the body in focus to teach young readers about themselves in easy to comprehend sections. Bodily differences are addressed, and there is also some social-emotional content embedded in the text for the younger audience. Illustrations take up smaller sections of the page to add context and maintain the readers’ interest with minimal distractions. The authors shine a light on what makes each part of the body brilliant and special for each person. VERDICT A body-positive choice that is perfect for young readers who are curious about them- selves and what lesser-addressed parts of their bodies, like eyebrows, are for.
