AnyBody: A Comic Compendium of Important Facts and Feelings about Our Bodies
by Katharina von der Gathen
Age Range: 9-11
As with Tell Me: What Children Really Want to Know about Bodies, sex and Emotions published in 2019, German author Katharina von der Gathen has created another clever and humorous comic compendium of important facts and feelings about our bodies.
Von der Gathen is an expert in the area of sex education with children and writes books based directly on questions asked in her classes. Here she provides accurate, digestible information, full of anatomical information in an amusing and honest way for children and early teens who want to understand and feel at home in their own bodies.
AnyBody answers the many questions that young people have about their bodies and how they feel about them. It explores how our bodies change and how we can change our bodies. It includes interesting facts about hair, skin and bodily functions alongside questions about body difficulties, puberty, gender identity, beauty, self-confidence and how other people react and relate to us.
Translated from German by Shelley Tanaka, the text is very accessible, the answers are direct and frank, and the accompanying lively and funny comic-style illustrations from German artist Anke Kuhl have been created in such a way as to avoid embarrassment. This is an important resource for children and teenagers, teachers and families.
