Author: Jeanne Willis (on JOMB) Illustrator: Tony Ross (on JOMB) Published: 2009 Andersen Press (on JOMB) ISBN: 9780761351511 Unrealistically scrawny pop culture ideals, issues of acceptance and fears of unhealthy body image have made fitness and healthy eating tricky issues to address. This brazenly British picture book pulls no punches about the dangers of the couch potato lifestyle. What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts on a favourite children’s book.

Helen Mirren is a role model for many and at 62 still wears a bikini.And to the women who won't wear one? Other side of same coin! Who cares how you look? Swimming and sunning with a bare tummy sure feels awful nice. 20 years ago, when I arguably had a much "better" body, I would not have filmed this.
