Jetae' from Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary

I love the illustrations in Something Beautiful because it shows how the girl feels. My favorite part is when she goes looking for something beautiful. Then she finds out that she is beautiful. The illustrations are bright and colorful.

Emily from Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary

I think Something Beautiful was excellent because of Chris Soenpiet's illustrations. I think they were wonderful, marvelous, and interesting. My favorite part was when the little girl found out she was something beautiful. I give this book 5 stars because of the way Chris drew the pictures. I recommend this book to kids of all ages. He made me feel like I was right in the little girl's neighborhood.

Aubrie from Ashley River Creative Art EL.C SC

My favorite part in the story was when the girl washed her front door clean because the door was pretty. I love the Illustrations. This is my favorite book in the world. The illustrations brought the story to life. I actually thought I was one of the characters. This book is one of the best books! I give this book five stars!!

A story about looking for the beautiful part of life.

I came across this book at a reading exposition in an inner city school. This is the story of a little girl who comes from drab environs. Her neighborhood, her surroundings look very grim to her. But she talks to her teacher, who conveys a powerful lesson, which is that although it may be hidden, there is beauty all around us, even in school classrooms, crowded neighborhoods, and elsewhere.
