ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
A celebration of the amazing human machine and a life on the move!
Your amazing body can jump, sprint, twist, and twirl. Your body is built to move.
Lizzy Rockwell explains how your bones and muscles, heart and lungs, nerves and brain all work together to keep you on the go. Kids walk and skate and tumble through these pages with such exuberance that even sprouting couch potatoes will want to get up and bounce around—and that’s the ultimate goal. Studies show that American kids are becoming more sedentary and more overweight and that they carry these tendencies with them into adolescence and adulthood. Experts agree that we need to help kids make physical activity a life-long habit. Through education, information, and encouragement, this book aims to inspire a new generation of busy bodies!

USER REVIEWS
"We haven't purchased this yet, but it's going on the kids' Christmas list. We borrowed it from the library and my 4 yr. boy and 2 1/2 yr. girl are always wanting me to read it or are "reading" it themselves.
My children were starting to ask questions about what happens to their food when they eat it, discussing what muscles were, why we drink water, etc. This book covers a large topic but it a very interesting and kid friendly way. I borrowed quite a few from the library but this is the only one that both I and my kids enjoy.
Very well done!"

"What a super book. It is kid friendly and makes learning about our bodies fun. The pictures and wording are both age appropriate. My grandsons (ages 3 & $) are both gaining from the book and love to see what happens to their food. It also has a great message to keep your body moving (that thing called exercise). Kudos to the author!

"This is a great book that introduces many different systems in the body while emphasizing that keeping active is so important for your body to work better. Using your muscles makes them stronger instead of wearing them out it tells us. The illustrations are detailed and colorful and the book is fun, overall, with an important underlying message to encourage children to stay busy and healthy."
