On submission. My Body Is A… by Molli Jackson Ehlert Bodies protect us, adventure with us, feel with us, but most importantly: our bodies belong to each of us.

SEL Lyrical Picture Book From a house to a planet to a tree, MY BODY IS A… takes the reader on a lyrical journey of discovering and admiring the wonders of our bodies and the boundaries needed to properly take care of them. Respecting our bodies—and by extension ourselves—is a crucial tool in fostering a strong sense of self-love.

About the Author Molli Jackson Ehlert is a critically acclaimed author of two picture books: Everybody Has A Body (Triple Starred and Kirkus Best Books) and All Food Is Good Food (featured on numerous parenting and nutrition accounts). She strives to create stories she never saw growing up, highlighting qualities often looked down upon. She wants readers who struggle to feel seen on the pages of books to open hers and say, “That’s me!” A piece of her identity goes into every book she writes: fat, queer, Jewish, neurodivergent, disabled—Molli embraces it all through joy. Molli is mother to an active 6-year-old and a bouncy baby, both equally obsessed with books. She hopes they will grow up with open minds and open hearts.

My latest #picturebook is on submission! MY BODY IS A… focuses on the beautiful things our bodies do for us, how they deserve our respect, and most importantly that we are in charge of our bodies.
