BODY is the first in a stylish new STEM series for children that features life-size body parts and sixteen die-cut flaps.
Written and illustrated by qualified medical artist and illustrator Ellen Lever, BODY is an exciting introduction to anatomy for preschoolers and kindergarteners.
Featuring body parts that are drawn to scale, true to the size of an average six-year-old, BODY encourages children to relate the information in its pages to their own bodies. Interactive die-cut flaps demonstrate, for example, how the joints of an elbow work and how ribs protect the lungs. Lever’s interdisciplinary background as both an artist and a scientist is reflected in her creative process—her work is playful and engaging as well as fact-based, meticulously researched, and scientifically accurate.
