    Roz MacLean’s Some Body, Every Body celebrates all shapes and sizes

    By Jessica on October 2, 2026 ages 3 & up, Celebrating Diversity, picture books

    Some body, every bodySOME BODY, EVERY BODY! by Roz MacLean, Bloomsbury Children’s Books, Sept. 15, 2026, Hardcover, $14.99 (ages 3-6)

    People of all sizes, shapes and ethnicities are celebrated in Some Body, Every Body! the first book in a new series by Roz MacLean.

    Some bodies swim. Some bodies play.
    Some bodies dance around all day!
    I love my body. Do you love yours too?
    I love that my body lets me be here with you!

    We all have a body, and they come in all sizes and shapes, with distinct sensory, mobility, and medical needs. Every kind of body exists and moves through the world in its own special, amazing way! From award-winning author and illustrator Roz MacLean comes a vibrant celebration of body diversity and positivity, and a kid-friendly entry point for teaching young readers that while everyone’s bodies may be different, each one is special! —Synopsis provided by Bloomsbury Children’s Books

    Some Body, Every Body! is a bright, affirming read that looks at all types of bodies and what they’re capable of.

    Roz MacLean’s rhythmic text has a bouncing quality that is mirrored by her vibrant illustrations that are full of energy. MacLean’s made sure to be as inclusive as possible, and almost every reader will find someone similar within the pages of this book.

    Some Body, Every Body! is midway between a board book and standard picture book with sturdy cardstock pages that should hold up to plenty of use.
