Sole-Smith, Virginia

Overall, this book shines in its look at policy and historical views of this topic. Parents concerned about their child’s weight and body image will appreciate it.

As noted early on, this book discusses topics that might be uncomfortable for some readers, and as such is not for everyone, particularly those with a difficult history with food. That said, readers wishing to learn more about disordered eating as well as those looking to be more mindful about food and the social messaging around it, will find this work useful.
