You Are Enough:
This nonfiction self-help book for young readers with disordered eating and body image problems delivers real talk about eating disorders and body image, tools and information for recovery, and suggestions for dealing with the media messages that contribute so much to disordered eating.
You Are Enough answers questions like:
• What are eating disorders?
• What types of treatment are available for eating disorders?
• What is anxiety?
• How can you relax?
• What is cognitive reframing?
• Why are measurements like BMI flawed and arbitrary?
• What is imposter syndrome?
• How do our role models affect us?
. . . just to name a few.
Many eating disorder books are written in a way that leaves many people out of the eating disorder conversation, and this book is written with a special eye to inclusivity.
For signed copies!

Petro-Roy’s encouragement and honesty will speak to readers who might be dealing with disordered eating, and the book’s information, exercises, and resources will hopefully set them on their own paths to recovery." ―Booklist
"This compassionate work offers insight and options for eating disorder recovery. . . . An excellent choice for libraries needing new eating disorder resources, especially those serving middle schoolers." ―School Library Journal
