Bodies, abilities, and Jewish holidays

Across the year, My Body Can celebrates the many things children’s bodies can do, with illustrations that bring a range of body types and abilities into view. Jewish holidays—including Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, Passover, and Shavuot—provide a seasonal thread through the scenes, connecting the book’s body-positive message with communal celebrations. Its combination of affirmation and holiday imagery gives the concept of what a body can do a distinctly Jewish context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring body-positive themes
  • Families looking for a picture book featuring Jewish holidays
  • Young readers who enjoy inclusive depictions of different bodies and abilities

Book overview

With charming illustrations of all kinds of children, My Body Can showcases the different talents bodies have throughout the year.

Inclusive of a variety of body types and abilities, the body-positive message affirms that everyone is beautiful, powerful, and can do amazing things. While the text highlights all the incredible things a body can do, the illustrations cleverly incorporate Jewish holiday celebrations including Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Hanukkah, Tu b'shvat, Purim, Passover, and Shavuot.
