This is a lovely expressive book that feels almost like an art journal. Author Nicole C. Ayers leaves no body part in the cold, from her thyroid to the rough patches of her heels. The art is energetic and has a child-like quality that transported me to that place of innocent acceptance and delight--the place I'd truly like to stay with this amazing life vessel that I have so often disrespected, ignored, abused and taken for granted. I would happily gift this book to young lady as an antidote for the body pressure she will inevitably face, whether internal or external, as her physique shapeshifts through life.

Being transparent with you, I came to this work via its artist Mica Gadhai. We met in Target, where she was working and helping me find a notebook. We easily got to chatting about writing and art. Mica’s in-person energy was as magical as the paintings she created for the book. Her work is like the comforting, colorful quilt that you’d love to wrap yourself up in while enjoying the Chai Tea Latte that is the voice of Ayers. Together their intended message results in a book that is truly a feel-good ‘happiness snack...’
