More Than A Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament by Lexie Kite — Our beauty-obsessed world perpetuates the idea that happiness, health, and ability to be loved are dependent on how we look, but authors Lindsay and Lexie Kite offer an alternative vision.

He joined a group of Dene, Secwepemc, Gitxsan, Dakelh, Apache, Tohono O’odham, Seri, Purepecha, and Maya runners, all fleeing difficult beginnings. Telling their stories alongside his own, Álvarez writes about a four-month-long journey from Canada to Guatemala that pushed him to his limits.
