Everywhere she goes, people tell her she's pretty.
But she's so much more than what they see.
Pretty Brown Eyes: More Than A Pretty Face is a joyful, empowering picture book that reminds little Black girls that their beauty is just the beginning of who they are. This inspiring story follows a curious, brave, and wonderfully silly toddler who discovers all the things that make her special - her creativity, her courage, her kindness, her voice, and her big, bright imagination.
Written as a love letter from a mother to her daughter, this book uplifts Black girls and shows them that they are valued for their minds, their hearts, and their limitless potential - not just their appearance. With rhythmic storytelling and vibrant illustrations, Pretty Brown Eyes encourages young readers to celebrate themselves exactly as they are.
