In a letter to John Adams, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "I cannot live without books," and we understand how he felt. Books have been our best friends ever since we can remember and we're going to celebrate our love for them with this 'reading challenge.' The aim is to tick one book off every month!

Although our lives have taken us in different directions, this challenge, and this blog, is also a way for us to celebrate our friendship as well as our love of reading.

This blog is really just for fun and each entry will explain how the 'book of the month' fits into the category, why we made our choices, and include some comments/thoughts on each book.

Let the challenge commence!!

Challenge 22: A book with pictures

Ida's book: "The Body Book" by Roz MacLean (Promontory Press, 2016).

So this challenge was a bit out of the ordinary, but then I remembered that I'd bought this little book last year, as part of an effort to have and read more body positive/fat activist inspired books, so I gave it a go!


Comments:
Every child should read this book, every adult too, for that matter. There is so much hatred for our bodies in society and if we can stop that at an early age and make children understand that all bodies are great, then we can truly do something good.
