Anupa Roper – Miss Sparrowlegs tells a story of differences and acceptance

Anupa Roper has always been on the smaller side, and from a young age experienced shaming just for being a skinny person. ⁠
While grown-up Anupa was busy being a teacher and raising a family, she knew she wanted to help young people to NOT feel bad about their bodies. ⁠
Writing Sparrowlegs was not how she initially envisaged doing that, but as we hear all the time on this podcast, the path is rarely straight and clear. ⁠
In this episode we find out how Anupa found her voice and about her continuing work with words and positive body image for young people.⁠
