Beautiful — Stacy McAnulty

For Ages 5 - 6 Every girl is unique, talented, and lovable. . . .Every girl is Beautiful. Written by Stacy McAnulty and illustrated by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff, this adorably illustrated book is filled with wit and musings on what it means for a young girl to be beautiful. The author's simple sentences and phrases stir the imagination and create the tone of Beautiful, which is bold and forthright. Beauty is much more than how one looks on the outside, true beauty is found in conquering challenges, showing kindness, and spreading contagious laughter. Beautiful girls are empowered and smart and strong! Stacy's writing combined with Joanne's illustrations evoke a feeling of uniqueness, independence, and strength, defining beauty through diversity, talents, and passions. Beautiful breaks barriers by showing girls free to be themselves: splashing in mud, conducting science experiments, and reading books under a flashlight with friends. This book will encourage all girls to embrace who they are and realize their endless potential.
