Meet Zubi: a joyful Bangladeshi girl excited about her first day of school. But when Zubi sees her mother frowning in the mirror and talking about being “too big,” she starts to worry about her own body and how she looks. As her day goes on, she hears more and more people being critical of each other’s and their own bodies, until her outburst over dinner leads her family to see what they’ve been doing wrong — and to help Zubi see that we can all make the world a more beautiful place by being beautifully ourselves.

Zubi's story is a conveys a powerful message about self-love to young readers — and a reminder to adults that what we say about our own bodies affects people around us, too. Through Zubi's eyes, we all see that beauty is about what you do... and that everyone can be "beautifully me!"
