Every girl is unique, talented, and lovable... Every girl is BEAUTIFUL. 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!
This clever picture book reminds girls that being beautiful if about much more than how you look. Kids will giggle at this book's interpretations of what it means to be beautiful — like when knowing "all about make up" lets them draw fake beards and mustaches for pirate pretend play, or when "smart style" means building robots and studying bugs.
Beautiful breaks barriers by showing girls free to be themselves: splashing in mud, conducting science experiments, and reading books under a flashlight with friends. It's a celebration of the diverse interests, talents, and gifts of girls everywhere, and a reminder that the greatest beauty of all comes from embracing who you are.
"The wordplay is clever: 'Beautiful girls know all about makeup,' as the girls dress up as pirates with fake beards and mustaches. Each wears a pirate hat, carries a sword, and navigates her own boat on the high seas. 'Beautiful girls…have a smart style' refers not to fashion sense but to a sense of discovery and exploration, as each page shows a young woman investigating bugs and plants and other girls building a robotic car or creating a science experiment. This simple yet empowering story, best suited for one-on-one and small group sharing, is infused with examples of how beauty is defined in many ways." — Melissa Smith, School Library Journal
