Maddie is waist-high on most of them, and she knows there’s an interesting person behind every belly she passes — like Jackie, the artist with a splatter of ice cream across their belly. Maddie’s splatter painting often leaves Mama speechless, too!\u003cbr\u003eThe poolside belly parade keeps Maddie musing: How bellies can make excellent tables, how hard some people work to keep their bellies flat when Maddie prefers her belly full, and how you should never, ever stick your hands in other people’s bellies, no matter how soft and doughy they might look. (Maddie’s cat taught her that the hard way.)\u003cbr\u003eAs Maddie dances, swims and makes the long climb up to the diving board, Thao Lam’s celebrated cut-paper collage portrays bellies and bodies of all shapes and sizes — bellies with scars, tattooed bellies, growing bellies, growling bellies, bellies with six-packs, stretch marks, insulin monitors, freckles and more — proving that every belly deserves its place in the sun.\u003cbr\u003eThis resource aligns with concepts and skills within Health Education P and 1 on bodily autonomy, positive body image and uniqueness, celebrating community and healthy relationships. The medium of collage is reminiscent of Eric Carle and makes for a wonderful anchor text for Visual Arts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44716026757180,"sku":null,"price":17.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/8949902896_140.jpg?v=1777553077","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/products\/everybelly","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
