LibrarianRyan
The Big Bath House | Kyo Maclear

Pickpick

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐5 ⭐
This book is about the author‘s memories of her time spent in Japan. Where big group baths are common. This story is lovingly told and would be fantastic at story time if Americans weren‘t such small minded people who bring shame to everything. Because this book has illustrations of naked women. It‘s not to glorify and it‘s not to be lustful. It‘s to say bodies are human, bodies are normal. And that being around others bearing your

LibrarianRyan body is culturally relevant. This book is wonderful and it‘s such a shame that some kids will never get to read it. 5mo

I love giving this book to kids. They always love it. Here my granddaughter is trying to repeat the reading to her dogs Luna and captain who seem equally enthralled. #dogsoflitsy

It feels important to catalog the ONLY note I took while reading (not that the shocks didn‘t keep on coming)!

BUT REALLY.

I finally finished my March book club selection…two weeks too late. 😅 Like many of my nonfiction reads, “this book is about different ways of looking.” As Gross reminds us, “You can‘t see what you aren‘t looking for.” It just so happens to also be about vaginas — and everything we *don‘t* know about them. A blurb on the dust jacket flap calls Gross‘s writing “lyrical.” With that in mind, I‘d like to draw your attention to the following sentence:

monalyisha 1/1: “Like eating a Reese‘s Cup, there‘s no wrong way to have a vagina.” Listen, I WAS looking for lyrical — and I did not find it. However, what I did find was informative, inquisitive, and open. This isn‘t the first book I‘ve read about vaginas (that particular distinction belongs to Vaginas: An Owner‘s Manual by Livodi & Topp) but it was definitely the most intersectional, well-researched, and well-written.

I don‘t remember how I heard about this book, but I was immediately interested. I looked at it in a bookstore because I assumed it would have a lot of pictures, but it really didn‘t have many so I opted to borrow the audio instead.

I found it engaging and informative, and really enjoyed it! It follows the study of anatomy through history, touching on early misogynistic lack of interest and assumptions, gender biases, cultural myths, and more!

Soubhiville Highly recommend! 1y
ShelleyBooksie @DinoMom - This one feels like something that would interest you! 1y

I learned a lot of interesting facts about a variety of vaginas and penises across the animal kingdom with which to regale dining companions 😂 Early chapters focus on 1) old timey fixes for women who think too much for their own good and 2) reproductive anatomy of a variety of insects and animals. Later chapters focus on advances in IVF and gender affirmation surgery.

A continuation of my last post: more spooky Storytime books!

I want to take a moment to specifically acknowledge Skulls! by Blair Thornburgh. I don‘t think it gets enough attention & it‘s WONDERFUL. It‘s a nonfiction picture book about how skulls & skeletons aren‘t scary; everyone has a skull in their head! It‘s got a silly, sort-of morbid humor & conveys factual, scientific information in spare, simple text. Plus, the illustrations are fab!

Librariana I ❤️ Skulls! Am pretty sure I read it for a storytime before joining the dark side (AKA. Collection Services/Acquisitions) 😉 1y
