I do equity & bias reviews for kids books & mostly I get hired to read for race & gender issues. But there is one area of representation that I flag in almost every book I review. We need more fat people in kids books. CW: fatphobia & body shaming

(Disclaimer: I am thin & have thin privilege & am still v much learning how to break fatphobia both around me & internalized. One thing I've learned is to normalize & destigmatize the word 'fat'. Hope I've done right in this thread but pls correct me if you find cause.)
