New York Times bestselling author Susan Verde (the I Am series) and acclaimed illustrator Steph Littlebird (My Powerful Hair) team up to celebrate all of the beautiful things our bodies can be and do: from mirroring the wonders in nature and carrying the stories of our ancestors, to speaking up for what they need, growing, dancing and more!
