Lizzie DeYoung Charbonneau believes it is important for young children to know the names of all of their body parts. To help teach her son about his body, Lizzie looked for a toddler book that discussed genitals the same way as other body parts. She wasn’t able to find one, so she decided to write it, consulting with parents, child safety experts, pediatricians, gender specialists, and educators. The result is “Your Whole Body,” an inclusive book for preschoolers about the entire body.
In addition to being a children's book author, Lizzie is software developer and mother. Lizzie grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and currently resides in Massachusetts.
