Short Summary

Does My Bum Look Big In This Ad? is a book about body image written by Lisa Cox for kids aged 9 to 12.

What This Book Is About

The media is influencing  young viewers. Often, they see a lot of heavily edited images that make them question whether their own bodies are good enough, impacting their body image. In this book, readers are reminded that their bodies are beautiful.

The book talks about these points:

  • How media can alter reality to promote products and gain profit
  • The difference between fact and fiction especially when it comes to media
  • How real beauty stems from confidence, acceptance and empowerment
  • What makes each body different and that each body is special and unique

Reflection and Comments

The way that our kids think and feel about their body can have a big impact on their self-esteem. It affects decision making and confidence. Especially for those going through adolescence, a strong body image can help them grow up to be emotionally-mature adults who know what they’re truly capable of regardless of what media and society dictates.
