In "Taking Up Space" by Alyson Gerber, we follow the journey of a young girl named Rachel, who grapples with body image issues and the pressures of fitting in. As she navigates the challenges of middle school, including friendships, family expectations, and her passion for gymnastics, Rachel struggles to find her own identity in a society that often sends conflicting messages about body positivity. Through a series of uplifting events and self-discovery, she learns to embrace her true self and take up the space she deserves, ultimately fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance.
