What it's all about . . .
"This book highlights those moments when girls are most beautiful like when being creative, playing sports, learning, and making friends. I wanted to look at beauty as a byproduct of confidence and not as an external attribute."
A favorite line…
"Each line works best with Joanne’s gorgeous illustrations. So, if I may cheat, I’d like to use the line we have on the back cover:
It’s all about your clothes, your hair, your style WHO YOU ARE."
Why kids will love it…
"Kids will love it because of the colorful, action-packed illustrations, and it shows girls being strong and awesome and, ultimately, beautiful."
Why grown-ups will love it…
"The book will remind grown women that mirrors are not just for putting on makeup. Mirrors are for making silly faces too."
Sounds fabulous, Stacy! We can't wait to add it to our Little Crooked Bookshelf!
