HEY BUDDY, I’M YOUR BODY! is the first installment of a series on body, mind, and soul called Kids’ Questions about Life. It’s an educational book written in simple language for parents, teachers, and kids who are pondering the deeper, more complex yet so essential issues of life. This is an early introduction on who we are and how to take care of ourselves.
Explaining the complexity of the human being in general is not an easy but very important task for parents. These concepts are made more tangible and easily understandable through a family of bears. As the bear cubs ask questions about their bodies, Mommy Bear and Daddy Bear seek to answer their little ones with simplicity and honesty.
Emphasizing that we are part of nature and made from the same building blocks as everything else in nature helps children understand how to take care of their bodies. Knowing about the language of the body and becoming more aware of it is also very essential. The body knows how to heal itself, but it needs our help to make informed and wise choices for a healthy and happy lifestyle.
My four-year-old loves this book. It addresses real-life issues that children begin asking about at a young age. He just asked the other day, "Mom, is there a person in my body?" obviously wondering about the soul. So it's perfect for us right now. It's a wonderful approach to explaining the body and how it needs good food to function properly. Great concept and well done!
This is a great introduction to your body! I liked that the book breaks each system of the body down into digestible chunks, and makes it easy to understand from a child's perspective. Parents finally have a great reference for all of those wonderful questions that their kids have about their bodies. The illustrations are adorable, too!
This book is a real gem! My 3 kids (ages 3, 6, & 9) ALL loved this book! And it is so rare to find a book that can keep all of my children entertained at the same time as this one did. I really enjoyed being able to have an accurate and engaging way to explain how the human body works. The graphics are adorable too! Kuddos to the author for pulling off an epic children's book!
My kids love this book. It explains how the body works using scientific facts but language children understand and find approachable. My 8 year old, said it answered so many of his questions. My 5 and 7 year old loved learning and the cute illustrations. Can't wait for the next two to come out about the mind and soul!!
