Kids and tweens will meet the diverse cast of friends spending their summer at the fictional Camp Corazón. Some characters will remind them of themselves while others will challenge them to understand and empathize with others’ life experiences. Vibrant, full-color illustrations and fun body facts will keep even reluctant readers turning pages and absorbing the important message that all bodies are good bodies—especially their own!
