Round-up: Fat Positivity and Children's/YA Literature

One of my favorite blogs, Shapely Prose, had a post up today about Fat Positive YA literature. Reading through the post, comments, and general searching I thought I would offer them up for library professionals who serve children and teens.

Fat Visibility in YA Fiction by SnarkysMachine et al (Shapely Prose)

Fat Positive Children's Books, Part I by Rebecca Rabinowitz* (Shapely Prose)

Fat Positive Children's Books, Part II by Rebecca Rabinowitz (Shapely Prose)

Uppity Women has a list of Fat Positive adult books that are also acceptable for older or mature teens.


*Ms. Rabinowitz offers a particularly stunning rebuff of Bebe Campbell Moore's book I Get So Hungry at The Rotund.

If you read a book or know of another article or list, feel free to post about it in the comments.
