"An animated look at celebrating who you are and never letting others dim your light." -- Kirkus reviews A celebration of all the things that make you extraordinary, unique, and gorgeously YOU, by Jonathan Van Ness, New York Times bestselling author and star of the Netflix hit show Queer Eye . I won't be afraid to stand out or show the world what I'm all about. I am exactly who I'm meant to be. Perfectly, happily, gorgeously me! Being true to yourself and showing the world who you are isn't always easy. Gorgeously Me assures young readers that they are loved and cherished, exactly as they are. A joyous, lyrical ode of pride and self love and a celebration of all of the things that make us exceptional. Perfect for fans of I Am Enough by Grace Byers and The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be by Joanna Gaines. Praise for Gorgeously Me! : "Fans of Van Ness's previous picture book will enjoy this infectious ode to self-expression." -- Kirkus reviews "In step with Nair’s sunny slice-of-life imagery, jubilant text further reinforces the power of friendship and community in supporting a strong sense of self." -- Publishers Weekly "A celebration of acceptance and positivity." -- School Library Journal
