‘Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the prettiest of us all?’

Too dark, too fair, too skinny, too big, too much hair, too little hair— today’s teenagers deal with endless body-image issues.

But the human body is a thing of beauty and wonder that works hard for us. And regardless of how we look, it’s who we are that matters.

Sixteen wonderful writers come together in this powerful anthology to share narratives that explore multiple themes on body positivity with the hope of helping empower teenagers navigate their modern worlds.
