Talking about Body image and kids - With Author and TedX speaker Emi Howe

And we are alive in the group. Good morning, everyone. I hope you're well. I'm really excited this morning because we have the lovely anyhow. Now I'm me through my work with TEDx.  I mean, you guys all know about my TEDx experience. And I'm now on the speakerphone. She's really lovely because I get to help kind of coach the guys who are coming through.  Catherine Samarinda is absolutely amazing as insure me Lily, green coaches were all on our actual speech. But I'm just part of that speak panel. And I remember the first time I saw Emi's audition video, it was just blooming away from the actual sentiment, the story behind it was amazing.  And next weekend is the big TEDx event. And so we are, as I was just prepping for that. And we were talking about how I remembered that I wrote books as well. And so I reached out and said, please, please come and talk to us about your children's book that you've wrote. And any very lovely dropped one off yesterday. So we'll do a competition.  We do that a little bit later, we'll tell you how you can win this signed, by the way, somebody that's just today, and he thinks your signature is just amazing. Like he's now trying to design his own signature. Can you see that everybody? How cool is that?  Emi joins us today, to talk about her new children's book "Don't go knocking at the the circus door" The themes look at body image and following your dreams. It is all set to the well know circus theme "Thunder & Blaze" tune (Emi gives a fab demo of how it should be read!) We also talk about what we can do to help kids have a positive body image. Tips for parents and educators alike.
