Under Our Clothes

Our First Talk About Our Bodies

This nonfiction book by child psychologist Dr. Jillian Roberts introduces children to the topics of bodies, body safety and body image through a conversation-based story that begins with an observation at the community pool.

Modesty, privacy and boundaries are discussed, along with how self-image is formed and how some people are more sensitive than others—sometimes at different stages in their lives. Relevant themes around body shaming, body positivity, and self-esteem building are explored, with a final call to action empowering children to build their own confidence and speak up when something doesn't feel right.
