About this title

Synopsis

A joyous picture book celebration of every body from A to Z!

Letter by letter, B Is for Bellies is a joyous picture book celebration of every body from A to Z! This ode to self-love and kindness encourages us to remember that every body is worthy of respect, whether it be letting go on the dancefloor or engaging in peaceful rest.

Rennie Dyball’s bouncy rhyming text features affirmational ABCs paired with Mia Saine’s vibrant illustrations that showcase an inclusive range of body shapes and sizes, different races, abilities, and gender expressions. This fun and fulfilling read aloud for younger readers and their caregivers emphasizes that all bodies are good bodies.

In 2008, she began ghostwriting on the side, and in 2017, she started her own business to focus on books. Thus far, Rennie has co-authored several non-fiction titles including Christian Siriano’s Fierce Style: How to Be Your Most Fabulous Self (Grand Central, 2009) and TLC star of My Fat Fabulous Life Whitney Way Thore’s I Do It with the Lights On (Ballantine, 2016).
