A little girl with white skin, wavy brown hair, and a round body celebrates all of the things it can do, from yoga to swimming to dancing. "Her body can go over and under and through. And what her body can, darling, yours can do too." Rhyming text and joyfully affirmative illustrations team up as an antidote to our culture's prevailing message to girls: that what they look like is more important than what they can do.
