Meschke, who herself has been a victim of “internet trolls calling her fat,” added that, had she had this book as a kid, she might have started to be confident and comfortable in her own skin sooner. “Body positivity is a movement right now in our space as adults, and I love it, but it needs to be taught at a young age, and that’s our goal....
The illustrations also show different types of friends, including kids with “different physical abilities, different hairstyles, different races, different sizes, and different religions.
