Her Body Can is the body positive children’s book that is a must-read.

Written by Katie Crenshaw and Ady Meschke, the book is a poetic self-love and body positivity declaration for all young girls.

“Its aim is to encourage our young girls to create a reality for themselves in which they love themselves and their bodies for exactly who and what they are, instead of learning to judge themselves and hate their bodies for what they are not,” the description said.

“Our girls should know that their bodies are absolutely amazing and CAN DO incredible things—and that their worth is not measured by anything except how big they love themselves.”

The book is the first of its kind and is written for girls aged newborn to eight-years-old.

“This book intends to teach all young girls their bodies CAN DO ANYTHING and that what they look like is irrelevant—we are all beautiful exactly the way we are,” the description continues.

“The authors’ rhyming, sing-song voices deliver captivating messages that are easy for young readers to understand and absorb, while the illustrator’s whimsical, modern drawings and vibrant colours bring characters to life on and off the page.”

Katie Crenshaw took to Instagram on Thursday to thank everyone for their support of the book and their good energy.

“We are so proud of this book and the conversations it will start in homes in classrooms all over the world,” she added.
