Every Body Is with Alyssa Goldwater and Chanie Kamman
Rivky sits down with Alyssa Goldwater and Chanie Kamman, the co-authors of Every Body is, a new children's book for Orthodox families. They share why they wrote the book, the importance of using the word fat and how they handled tznius in the book.
Alyssa Goldwater is a wife, mom and the Digital Influencer behind the lifestyle brand, A Glass of Goldwater (@alyssagoldwater). She is also the newly published author of, 'Every Body Is', a children's book nurturing positive body image through Torah Values. Merging motherhood with humor, A Glass of Goldwater has created a community and support network of more than 200,000 women across the world. By having hard conversations about difficult topics such as mental health, the dangers of diet culture, and the unspoken struggles of motherhood, Alyssa not only keeps people laughing with her sarcastic take on life, but also helps women feel part of something bigger - that they aren't alone in this crazy world.
Chanie Kamman is a mother of seven young children who is passionate about raising kids with respect, emotional wellness, and joyful Judaism. Recognizing a void of Jewish resources for kids on emotional health, she took the initiative to create them herself. Her popular children's books include _Me & My Feelings, The Friend That Stayed_, _I Messed Up_, and most recently _Every Body Is_, co-written with Alyssa Goldwater - with hopes of writing more during nap time, between homework crises, and fueled by a steady supply of lukewarm coffee. Together with her husband and children, Chanie is a proud Chabad Shlucha in Stamford, CT.
