Nanny Earned Her Jiggly Wings
A Grandmother’s Tale
by Rhonda Kay Comeau

---

“Nanny, why is your hair grey?” “Well, there’s a story . . .” As Nanny begins reading a story to her grandson, he interrupts with lots of questions about her body, such as why her hairs are grey and why she has two chins. These questions force Nanny to reflect on her personal journey through life and all the ways her body has changed over the years. Answering his questions in a light-hearted, positive, and sometimes humorous way, Nanny shows her grandson that every body has its own unique story. Through a poetic conversation between grandmother and grandson, Rhonda Kay Comeau illustrates the importance of body positivity and the messaging we pass along to children in our responses to their natural curiosity.
