"Celebrate Your Body is a wonderful book full of wisdom and
affirmation for young girls at a time when their lives are fraught
with change. Thank you, Sonya Renee, for writing a book about
puberty that is both informative and joyous! What a gift! A must
read for the tweens in all of ourlives."--Deb Hauser, President,
Advocates for Youth
"Taylor's book unapologetically leads with the positive, focusing
much more on what bodies can do rather than what they look like.
Even with that focus, Taylor manages to hammer home that all bodies
are beautiful, that it's possible to be healthy at every size, and
that each body progresses at its own rate..."--Rachelle Hampton,
slate.com
"The last thing I expected to do while reading this colorful and
celebratory book for youth was cry, but as I went through each page
I found myself with tears streaming down my face. Tears for my
"past pre-teen self" who finally, after twenty years, felt seen...
and tears for the next generation of amazing humans who will have
this extraordinary guidebook (and Sonya) to hold their hand while
explaining how their bodies are undeniably remarkable in every
way."--Jes Baker, Body Positive Activist, author of Things No One
Will Tell Fat Girls? and Landwhale
"This book exemplifies the love and care that is necessary to help
young people grow into healthy adults. As an educator, I am privy
to unfortunate outcomes of miseducation when talking about puberty.
Sonya has managed to create an experience of celebration through
her thoughtful approach to delivering the facts about puberty in a
way that can help girls feel proud of their bodies and the puberty
experience."--Patrick Smith Director of Education, Equity &
Inclusion, Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania
