I’m Beautiful Because I Am:

Valuing Myself & Others With Empathy and Care

by

Azizi Tuere

Joy-filled, relatable, and sharable!

I’m Beautiful Because I Am is the first book in author/illustrator Azizi Tuere’s children’s picture book series “Because I Am…,” and it is a lovely, joyous story of a young girl’s search for what made her HER. With its engaging main characters and gorgeous illustrations, it was easy to linger over each page and consider the child’s many discoveries. 

From the cover to the very end, readers will notice that the illustrations are joyous and joy-filled, employing a vibrant color palette that makes each scene sparkle with magic. Every step of the main character’s journey through her day is relatable. Whether she’s outdoors soaking up nature, enjoying indoor hobbies and activities, or spending time with a friend or family pet, the familiar examples of the daily life of a child provide opportunities to share relatable experiences customized for the little ones in your life. At the end of the book, the author even offers suggestions for enrichment activities that are simple, doable, fun, and meaningful. 

I recommend I’M BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE I AM to readers with young ones in their lives.
