  • Great collection from students
Format: Hardcover
We are just beginning this project. I will take pictures of my students next week of their favorite part of their body. Then they will write a paragraph telling why that part is their favorite and what that part does for them. IE: My eyes…allow me to see the world, see my friends, see my mom and dad’s smile when they are proud of me. I will take a closeup of their chose part and post it with their paragraph. So excited!! ... show more

  • Wonderful book
Format: Hardcover
Great read aloud! If your looking for a book that promotes a love for each others' uniqueness, this book is just right for you. I use it in my classroom and have a conversation about our differences and similarities and the things that make us special and unique.

  • Inspiring Idea
Format: Hardcover
I shared this book with my third grade class in the beginning of the year. Each double page spread has a child's writing (best self-edited) and a black and white photo. Since the writers were close to their ages, they could model their own writing after the writing in the book. Each child chose their "best part" to write about and then posed for a picture of their hair, feet, etc. I used a digital camera to take black and white photos. The lack of color really emphasized their work. These are now mounted on their lockers for all to see and I have never had as many comments on student writing. This book could inspire writers of many ages. ... show more

Format: Hardcover
Positive body image needs to be built starting from a very young age. I used this book in my first grade lesson on body image. The students had the opportunity to discuss what they like about their body and then wrote about it on a sheet titled, "The Best Part of Me." I was a little worried the students wouldn't take it seriously, but was pleasantly surprised with what the kiddos came up with. This year, I would like to take pictures like this book did and make our very own class book. My students loved looking at the beautiful photographs while reading writing of real students. This book is a must for any elementary grade! ... show more

  • Great book about body positivity
Format: Hardcover
Got this as a gift for my niece and nephew. It sends a great message about body positivity regardless of race, gender or appearance. The writings in the book stress the importance of loving our bodies and all of their parts. Great for confidence building in a society that is obsessed with appearance. ... show more

  • Used for a school project
Format: Hardcover
Cute book. I used it for a school project with my junior high kids. They were inspired by the elementary kiddos in the book and got to write their own “Ode to The Favorite Part of Me” in an effort to have them recognize that they are all unique and beautiful!

  • Good Book
Format: Hardcover
I thought this was a great book, but more directed to younger children. I was given this title through an advertisement for an in class activity. I thought it would be a great activity and bought the book. However when I read it I realized that it was a book for early primary grades and not so much for upper grades. I still used it because I had bought the book but I had to make some adaptations to my lesson plan. ... show more
