The Beautiful List

“I highly recommend The Beautiful List for every young tween and mother who wants to have meaningful conversations that will deepen their relationship. In today’s world with so many conflicting messages, we need girls to know that they are worthy and beautiful inside and out. This book is a great start to last a lifetime."

Lidia Soto-Harmon, CEO, Girl Scouts Nation's Capital

When twelve-year-old genius Seraphina Reynolds discovers one day that she cares a LOT about how others see her, she creates a “beautiful list”— and begins the journey to put herself on it.

The Beautiful List engages tweens with candid trials about bathing suits, boys, mean girls, body image, sibling jealousy, friendship drama, family dynamics, pressure to perform, and even tragedy. It's a needed conversation starter for middle grade girls who desperately need to know they are beautiful just as they are. But it's also a reminder to those of us who interact with tweens - both boys and girls - that our attitudes and actions about worth matter greatly.

The book includes a book club study guide at the back that can be used individually as a journaling tool or with any group.

"This book gently reminds all parents that our kids are learning from our words, actions, and feelings, even feelings towards ourselves. It's a beautiful read for tweens, teens and their parents."

"Christine Virgin captures the deep dive into the question ”Am I beautiful?” in such a lovely way. When one person finds the courage to unearth the hard stuff, it presents others with the opportunity to do the same."
