What is beautiful?

It’s a question we all ask at some point in our lives. It’s also a question many of us struggle to answer in a way that satisfies or affirms us.

But what if we could change that for our daughters? And our daughters’ daughters? What if we could give them a picture of beauty they can embrace—a picture they can see every day looking back at them in the mirror?

A rhyming illustrated book appropriate for ages 6–12, What Is Beautiful? is a whimsical and refreshing reflection on beauty for every girl at every age.

“What Is Beautiful? inspires hearts of all ages to see what beauty truly is and to appreciate and let it shine in each of our lives. Imagine if we all live out the beauty God has created in each of us.” —Elizabeth Dixon, speaker, author, and Chick-fil-A Strategist
