Trails Not Scales with Summer Michaud-Skog: Author of Fat Girls Hiking: An Inclusive Guide to Getting Outdoors at Any Size or Ability
From the founder of the Fat Girls Hiking community comes an inclusive, inspiring call to the outdoors for people of all body types, sizes, and backgrounds. Through heartfelt stories, practical advice, personal profiles of Fat Girls Hiking community members, and helpful trail reviews, Summer Michaud-Skog inspires readers to redefine who is considered “outdoorsy” and to get outside, no matter their size. Whether you’re an experienced or aspiring hiker, you’ll be empowered to hit the trails and find yourself in nature. Trails not scales!
Summer Michaud-Skog is the founder of Fat Girls Hiking, a hiking community centered on a body liberation mission to get folks of diverse backgrounds out on trails no matter their size, ability, or experience level. The Fat Girls Hiking community has chapters across North America and a fast-growing social media fan base.
This program is part of the Reclaiming Your Story grant, graciously funded by the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) Direct Grant Program. Fat Girls Hiking is one of two selected titles to be part of the Library's Fall Community Read. More information to come.
