Starred Review
Depicting societally marginalized human bodies in all their joyful, normal glory, this book is cool.

Review quotes

This inclusive book shows and celebrates all types of bodies in the park, in the pool, at a party—everywhere. That's exactly where all our bodies are . . . . It's truly transformative not only to be seen by others but to see yourself. To see yourself just as you are. To see yourself included. To see your body as good, as cool . . . a great resource to start conversations about fatphobia and anti-fat bias and to help a kid struggling with their self-image. —Lisa Fipps, author of Starfish

Great book!!!

I thought it was a great book !!

Tyler Feder
Tyler Feder is a Chicago-based artist whose work explores Big Feelings, feminism, and pop culture. She graduated from Northwestern University with a BA in Radio/TV/Film and a fancy certificate in Creative Writing for the Media. After college, she studied comedy writing at The Second City Training Center and began posting drawings online, both of which were equal parts thrilling and terrifying. Since then, Tyler has illustrated Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin's Unladylike, Leah Henderson's Together We March, and many angsty self-portraits. Tyler wrote and illustrated the award-winning graphic memoir Dancing at the Pity Party, and she continues to sell prints and the occasional portrait at her long-running Etsy shop, Roaring Softly. Tyler's favorite color is pink (obviously).
