Publisher Description:

Are you nervous about your presentation at school tomorrow? Or about going onstage for the school play? What about trying out for the baseball team? Try standing like a superhero for a few seconds before you start. Research shows that standing like a hero makes you feel--and act--like one

Humans use words to communicate, but we also use our bodies to send messages. We may shrug our shoulders to show we don't care, or open our eyes wide in surprise, or give the thumbs up to show we approve of something. But did you know that giving the thumbs up in Greece is pretty rude? Or that nodding your head--which means yes in the United States and Canada--actually means no in the European countries of Albania and Bulgaria?

Every Body's Talking explores the complexities of body language. Discover what is really being expressed when people stand, sit, or move in certain ways and learn how you can use your body and facial expressions to communicate more effectively in a variety of situations.


Contributor Bio(s): Jackson, Donna M.: -

Donna M. Jackson is an award-winning author of nonfiction books for young readers. Her works include the critically acclaimed Elephant Scientist, named a 2012 Robert F. Sibert Informational Honor Book, a 2012 Boston Globe-Horn Book nonfiction honor book, and an NSTA/CBC Outstanding Science Trade book; Extreme Scientists, selected as a Smithsonian Notable Book for Children, 2009; and ER Vets, an Orbis Pictus and ASPCA Henry Bergh honor book. Donna's interest in the mind-body connection began when she first studied psychology in college. Later, while writing a book called In Your Face, she became fascinated with facial expressions and the many messages we communicate through body language--both to ourselves and others. Donna holds a master's degree in journalism from the University of Colorado at Boulder. She lives near the Rocky Mountains with her husband, Charlie, their family, and their two dogs, Shadow and Sydney.
