My problem is that Barnes & Noble’s website says that the book is for readers 6 to 12; Amazon’s site says ages 4 to 8. Kids at that age (especially 4 to 8, what IS that) need to be getting help from their parents or a doctor if they are legitimately, unhealthily overweight, not reading a book and trying to do it on their own. I could also go on about the fact that it certainly looks like (and I know I’m interpreting here) she’s trying to fit into a dress of a particular size as a goal, and I don’t think a size is ever a healthy goal.

I’m disgusted by this. I will raise a body positive family.
