The Belly Song

(3) PS Illustrated by Leah Giles. This jaunty rhyme celebrates bellies big and little, round and flat. The verse's buoyant joy is echoed in Giles's bold collages with a cut-paper look. The book anticipates young listeners' responses with a double-page spread near the end featuring a tot exclaiming "AGAIN!" On the final spread, the entire verse is repeated as an encore. The text can be sung to a tune by YouTuber Mother Moon, accessible by scanning the QR code on the back cover. From the same team, ­Showing I Love You honors familial bonds. For more body positivity, look for My Body and Me: My First Body ­Positivity Book (Soaring Kite) by Ceece Kelley, illustrated by Betania Zacarias.
