At a time when mental health and well-being are at an all-time low and bullying and body shaming is at an all-time high, comes this relevant, timely, fun, fast-paced book.

Best-selling author, nationally recognized body image expert and lifestyle coach, Anne Poirier, CSCS has written a life-enriching game changing book for tweens and the adults who love them.

Join Aly, the 'fattest' kid in her class and her best friend Rayanne as they navigate the trials and tribulations of middle school. When the 5th grade theatre production is posted, and it's her favorite musical ANNIE, she is devastated. There is NO WAY she will be trying out, because of course, no one has ever heard of a FAT ANNIE!

Not a Fat Annie tackles the difficult yet relatable and familiar subjects of bullying, body shaming, fatphobia, and self-criticism while offering readers (both tweens and adults) tools to enhance body image, boost self-esteem, build resiliency and save lives.

Make room in your heart for this uplifting positive story as Aly and Ray learn the value of self-acceptance, positive self-talk, and the importance of true friendship and family.

It is a celebration of differences and a must read for all ages!"Elizabet Altunkara. Director of Education, NEDA
