Growing Up Beautiful by Dr. Qiana Gray
The book follows the journey of a little black girl that, through bullying, negativity, lack of representation, and body image issues – she learns lessons that help her to love herself, her family, and her friends. Through many life experiences, it is hoped that each book teaches children the importance of standing up for yourself, loving your body despite color, shape or size, and how family and friends can be your best support system. The book will focus on exposing young readers to understanding different emotions, how to deal with bullying, racism, family, and friendships.
