What my Readers are saying…
“Dr. Cortney Harper has created something truly special. This book gently opens the door to talking about gender roles and identity in a way that kids can understand and parents can feel confident discussing. It’s joyful, affirming, and beautifully written. I recommend it to every teacher, librarian, and parent I know!”
“I was in tears reading this with my daughter. They Are Beautiful affirms every child’s right to be themselves and celebrates diversity with warmth and wisdom. It’s one of the most important children’s books I’ve read in years. The note to kids at the end is especially touching—my child said, “That part was for me!”
“What a refreshing and necessary addition to the world of children’s literature. Dr. Harper writes with love and authenticity, and the illustrations perfectly complement the message. This book teaches kids that there’s no “right” way to be—and that’s a message that can change lives. Highly recommend for all families!”
