ARC provided by NetGalley Did you know that without uttering a single word someone standing in front of you will be able to read you like an open book? It’s true! Give it a try, because we all communicate with our bodies in a language that is virtually universal. Or so it appears. Giving the thumbs up in the US and Canada means that you approve, but in Greece it stands for something that is rude. And be careful when you nod your head in Albania and Bulgaria, as it actually means no. Our bodies are talking...whether we know it or not. Body language is a complex, and sometimes, difficult topic to talk about given that we don’t often look at ourselves when we’re communicating. And for people that are on the Autism spectrum, like me, it’s even more difficult to interpret what the body signals mean if the voice says something different. And that’s where this book comes in. Even though it is a relatively short book, it has lots of good images and is engaging to readers, whether young or older. It walks the reader through what they’re saying, how they’re saying it, and when they’re saying it based upon how they’re holding themselves. Even better, it talks about the different cultures and backgrounds, so that it can help readers better understand what to be aware of in different cultures. Body language tends to be something that we all take for granted and assume that everyone knows what different signals mean. Yet this book shows that different cultures and upbringings impact how we read and understand signals. Although this book is aimed at a younger audience, it is well worth the read for all ages. I give the book 4 out of 5 stars.
