Her Body Can is a book for girls and those who love them. It celebrates the wonders and uniqueness of who we are and who we want to be. Our worth isn’t a matter of looks, we see, because we’re so much more than that. Through engaging rhymes and vibrant artwork, this picture book finds a warm, inviting way to communicate powerful truths about what we’re capable of, what we can do, and how we can live our dreams, regardless of our body’s shape or size or what others think about us. We know we’re free to think, act, and be without worry or judgment. We have opinions, voices, and the ability to choose our own way, while loving ourselves exactly as we are. Her Body Can reminds every one of us to be true to who we are as we create our paths. We can do anything, and our lives are full of possibilities when we embrace our bodies and souls and live without limits. This is a relevant and important book about body positivity, self-love, and respect for all girls. Whether we’re 1 year old or 101 years old, our bodies CAN.
In this powerful book of quotations, Byron Katie talks about the most essential issues that face us all—love, sex, and relationships; health, sickness, and death; parents and children; work and money; and self-realization. The profound, lighthearted wisdom embodied within is not theoretical; it is absolutely authentic. Not only will this book help you on many specific issues, but it will point you toward your own wisdom and will encourage you to question your own mind, using the four simple yet incredibly powerful questions of Katie’s process of self-inquiry, called The Work. Katie is a living example of the clear, all-embracing love that is our true identity. Because she has thoroughly questioned her own mind, her words shine with the joy of understanding. "People used to ask me if I was enlightened," she says, "and I would say, ‘I don’t know anything about that. I’m just someone who knows the difference between what hurts and what doesn’t.’ I’m someone who wants only what is. To meet as a friend each concept that arose turned out to be my freedom."
