Synopsis

This nonfiction self-help book for young listeners with disordered eating and body-image problems delivers real talk about eating disorders and body image, tools and information for recovery, and suggestions for dealing with the media messages that contribute so much to disordered eating. You Are Enough answers questions like these: What are eating disorders? What types of treatment are available for eating disorders? What is anxiety? How can you relax? What is cognitive reframing? Why are measurements like BMI flawed and arbitrary? What is imposter syndrome? How do our role models affect us? How do you deal with body changes? . . . just to name a few. Many eating-disorder books are written in a way that leaves many people out of the eating-disorder conversation, but this book is written with a special eye to inclusivity so that people of any gender, socioeconomic group, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, or chronic illness can benefit.

Goodreads review by Andy on July 11, 2019

Essentially a self-help book for tweens about body image, I'd recommend for ages 10-15. I appreciate how intentional the book is about the language they use, it is really trying to provide an intersectional view of body image and eating disorders.......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on August 06, 2020

This book is a 3.5 for me, and I would suggest that all middle grade and high school libraries add it to their collection.
