You are beautiful from the top of your head to the tip of your toes--but beauty is far more than something you can have. It's also something you have to find. In other people. In nature. In acts of kindness. In math, and art, and music, and sports. In this beautiful inspirational book for girls, author-illustrator Talitha Shipman turns the concept of beauty inside out, transforming girls into beauty-seeking adventurers charging out into the world with confidence and ambition to find beauty and make beauty wherever they go.
Talitha Shipman is a picture book illustrator born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Her favorite subjects to paint are wild kids and wild animals. Nature inspires Talitha's painting, and she hopes her work encourages curiosity and creativity in children of all ages. Talitha has worked with publishers large and small. Her books include the Sidney Taylor Honor recipient Everybody Says Shalom by Leslie Kimmelman (Random House Books for Young Readers, 2015); an American Farm Bureau Recommended Read, Applesauce Day by Lisa Amstutz (Albert Whitman, 2017); a 2019 IPPY Silver Medalist, First Snow by Nancy Viau (Albert Whitman, 2018); and On Your Way written by John Coy and published by Beaming Books. Finding Beauty is Talitha's first author/illustrator adventure. Talitha lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with her husband and their three-year-old wild child, Coral.
"What could be more important in the world right now than finding beauty? In joyfully colorful scenes this lyrical ode to beauty--where to find it and how it will find you--is perfectly pitched for young readers. This book will make your heart soar." --Leslie Kimmelman, author of Everybody Says Shalom, a Sydney Taylor Honor Book, and The Little Red Hen and the Passover Matzah. "Lyrical and heartfelt, Finding Beauty shows how and where to find beauty beyond the surface of things and, almost more importantly, how we can let beauty find us." --Deborah Marcero, author of In a Jar, My Heart Is a Compass, Rosie & Crayon, and more "Beauty takes root and grows in this lovely, lyrical celebration of life. The perfect gift for a young child or new parent!" --Lisa Amstutz, author of Finding a Dove for Gramps, Applesauce Day and more than 50 other children's books
