The human body

Your body is you. Your heart keeps a steady beat. Your lungs fill with air when you breathe in.

Bones help you stand and run. Skin keeps you warm. Hands can hold things. Feet can carry you across the grass.

The children in this picture are using their bodies to play. That is an ordinary, sunny day.
