Blogging From A to Z Challenge – Weight & Body Image
Often, when you find books about body image, you’ll find characters dealing with eating disorders. I wanted to take a different approach and share some titles about characters that are overweight, many of who have a positive self-image. Take a look at the young adult titles below!
- Big Fat Manifesto by Susan Vaught
- Deenie by Judy Blume
- Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy
- Fat Kid Rules the World by K. L. Going
- Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven
- Husky by Justin Sayre
I’m spending the month of April promoting diversity in children and young adult literature as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. Stop by every day for a new list of titles! Also, check out other bloggers who are participating by heading over at the Blogging From A to Z website!
