Beautiful by Running Press Kids

Celebrating the magnificent qualities of girls, Beautiful thoughtfully reimagines how society ordinarily defines beauty for girls and what they should aspire to be. With simple statements like, “Beautiful girls have the perfect look” and “Beautiful girls move gracefully”, the illustrations go outside the box by showing girls enjoying life in their own personal style and moving to the beat of their own interests, whether they be sports, academics, the arts, or everything in between.

Why we like it: A book that encourages girls to be beautiful: Beautifully smart, beautifully adventurous, beautifully resourceful and beautifully YOU. A welcomed change from the other “dated” messages targeted to young girls.
