Synopsis "Beautifully Biracial: A Young Adoptee's Journey to Love Herself"
This creative new children's book explores the story of an young biracial adoptee beginning her journey to understand who she is in a world that is not as accepting and inclusive as it could be. Although faced with adversity, she learns to rise above it with the love, support and understanding of her family. What they're saying about the book: Beautifully Biracial offers parents, teachers, and other community stakeholders a host of ideas which, if taken to heart, can truly enrich the lives of all the children entrusted to their care. No parent should have to fight alone to help their child discover their worth and beauty. All children should be taught to see and appreciate the beauty and value in differences. Beautifully Biracial helps us begin to see how far we are from addressing the needs of marginalized students and helps adults who want the help, identify and halt the damage caused to all children by remaining oblivious to or fighting against the inevitability of change. - Paul Scott, Unity Partnership, Law Enforcement Committee Liaison, Assistant Secretary, DuPage County NAACP Beautifully Biracial, A Young Adoptee's Journey to Love Herself is beautifully written and heartfelt! The illustrations tie in so well with the message of the book, and are filled with so much emotion that they really pull at your heart strings! The intention is to build one's identity, talk about one's color, skin, and hair and that we are a beautifully different in our own way. This book not only explains the different diversities of one's household, it also teaches awareness, tolerance, how to feel included and to be confident in yourself! Definitely a must read! - Jennifer DePrey, LCSW An extremely powerful story of a young woman who embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Through her loving family she learns to embrace her unique beauty, love herself, and find true acceptance. A heartwarming story of family, compassion, and finding inner peace with oneself. - Tamara Gasior, MSW, LCSW
