You're Beautiful When

Beauty is something far deeper than meets the eye; beauty blossoms in your actions, in your manner, in your dreams, and in your being. This book takes the reader on a journey of beautiful times; from laughing to dancing, from sweetness to bravery.

Featuring original illustrations of delightfully drawn animals by award-winning artist Phyllis Howard, each page encourages that beauty can be found in the smallest and simplest, most natural of things. You're Beautiful When is a heartfelt, feel-good book for children and adults alike.

The writing style of this book utilizes the Hypnotherapy background of author Stefanie Fields, who created it with a repetitive nature by design. The consistent, familiar phrasing plants the subconscious seeds for healthy self-esteem and a strong sense of genuine beauty from the inside out.

A portion of the sales from this book supports Brigid Collins Family Support Center; a beautiful organization doing immensely beautiful work.

There are so many things that make a person beautiful and these things have nothing to do with physical appearance. For example, people are beautiful when they are kind and caring, when they laugh, when they are learning, when they share, when they allow their imagination to take them anywhere, when they try. The list is endless, and not a single item on the list has anything to do with winning a beauty contest...For children, they need the reassurance that everything they do, everything that is positive, makes them look beautiful in so many ways.

Stefanie Fields' picture book story, You're Beautiful When, takes this very difficult concept and expands it with exceptional illustrations that carry the concept throughout. Taking a multitude of possible beauty elements and molding them with an appropriate illustration by Phyllis Howard, she presents this difficult concept in a way so that a young reader might comprehend the true meaning of beauty. Each illustration uses a different baby animal (or a combination of animals) to help make the concept more understandable...A beautiful book, a treasure to share with young readers.
