AnyBody

Sometimes you feel insecure in your body, sometimes comfortable and invincible. And then you'd also like to know how much spit you produce in the course of your life. If anyone knows what children are interested in and concerned about when it comes to their bodies, it's "Klär mich auf" author Katharina von der Gathen. Her many years of experience and a broadly based anonymous survey were the basis for her new encyclopedia, which is unbiased and witty, but also carefully takes on board ambivalent feelings. And if anyone knows how to put children's body experience into pictures, it is Anke Kuhl: Her charts, hidden pictures and cartoons are so funny, apt and sometimes sad that everyone recognizes themselves. The result is a wonderfully affirming book to flip back and forth for boys and girls who really like being at home in their bodies.
