More Than Pretty

By Lena Johnson

Lena loves discovering treasures.

Shiny stones.
Striped feathers.
Rainbow beetles.
Treasure maps.
Dinosaurs.
Anything that sparks her curiosity.

But everywhere she goes, people notice something else.

"What a pretty smile."
"Such beautiful curls."
"What a lovely little girl."

At first, the compliments make Lena happy. But soon she begins to wonder if anyone sees the things that matter most to her, the explorer, the dreamer, the collector, the curious heart hidden beneath the smiles.

With the gentle wisdom of her grandmother, Lena discovers that beauty is only one small part of who she is and that her greatest treasure has been inside her all along.

More Than Pretty is a heartfelt picture book celebrating curiosity, confidence, identity, and the joy of being known for what's on the inside.

Perfect for children ages 4-8, this uplifting story encourages young readers to embrace their unique gifts, ask questions, explore the world around them, and remember:

You are more than what people see first.
