WHO HAS WHAT! ALL ABOUT GIRLS’ BODIES AND BOYS’ BODIES — a nonfiction picture book for children 2 1/2 to 5 — was published this past fall. I wrote this book to answer young children’s delightful, thoughtful, and often non-stop questions about their own bodies and about how girls’ and boys’ bodies are the same and are different — questions that are seemingly simple, but often not easy to answer.
Featuring conversations between siblings Nellie and Gus, a read-aloud text that offers young children fascinating and straightforward information, and Nadine Bernard Westcott’s pitch-perfect art that chronicles Gus and Nellie’s family outing to the beach. The book is full of fun and fascinating information as they learn about their amazing bodies.
This book is the second book in illustrator Nadine Bernard Westcott’s and my four book series for young children and it’s moving along at a fast clip. This book features Nellie and Gus — siblings who were also featured in WHO HAS WHAT?…
