Big Bold Beautiful Me a story that's loud and proud and celebrates you!

Kids will delight in reading Big, Bold, Beautiful Me and find themselves marching along and standing side-by-side protagonists just like them who portray body positivity in a loud, proud, and very fun way.

Grown-ups will welcome the message of healthy attitudes when facing negative or derogatory comments of others. Together it is a valuable resource for young readers to confidently embrace who they are with big bold beautiful appeal to teachers, librarians, counselors, and parents, too.  

 I pull my shoulders back, and I walk with pride
Hiking with my Nana, going stride for stride.
Then I look in the mirror—and what do I see?
Big and bold and beautiful me!
