A redheaded child describes his \u201cbusy body,\u201d including his green eyes that help him see, his nose that helps him smell warm, fresh-baked cookies, and his mouth, with which he laughs, yawns, and enjoys eating his favorite treats. He counts the hairs on his baby brother Paul\u2019s head, swims, jumps, and plays sports, and he even visits a doctor for a checkup. Whether he\u2019s discussing his brain, hands, heart, or feet, the boy is grateful: \u201cFrom my nose to my ten toes, My body does all I need.\u201d Over the course of this brief text, Brannan offers a sweet, rhyming narrative with a message of self-love at its core. The book invites young readers to move and play by showing the boy actively engaging with the world on each page. Lopes\u2019 whimsical cartoon illustrations bring the story to life with fun details that go beyond the text, including an expressive family cat; the boy\u2019s dinosaur costume, which he wears while riding his bike; and a friendly pediatrician\u2019s cat-themed lab coat.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
