Booktalk: Told through the repetition of the two sounds in the title, this pirate adventure with a twist at the end is also a clever lesson on homonyms: words that sound the same, or are spelled the same, but have different meanings.

Some Bodies

Some Bodies
by Sophie Kennen (Author) and Airin O’Callaghan (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: Bodies come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and can do extraordinary things. Our bodies are uniquely our own yet they connect us to the world around us in so many ways. Every body is different and all bodies are good. This rhyming picture book celebrates all the things that make our bodies special–from the texture of our hair to the color of our eyes. Back matter includes tips and conversation starters for parents and educators to help children acknowledge and accept differences in others and themselves.
