Book Description
Beyond Pretty is an alphabet book for young readers, which teaches the ABC¿s along with vocabulary and empowerment. Playing on the use of the word ¿pretty¿ it tells us that A is for pretty AMBITIOUS; girls who work hard to succeed. B is for pretty BRAVE; girls who don¿t back down, even when they¿re afraid. As it continues through the alphabet, it reminds us that girls can be things like FUNNY, GREGARIOUS, HONEST, INVENTIVE and more; defining each word in a way that highlights it positively while utilizing in a fun rhyme scheme to keep young readers engaged. When ¿Beyond Pretty¿ gets to Y, girls are reminded ¿YES I CAN!¿ and that all girls have a little of this. The book concludes with ¿now last but not least (simply equal) we come to the letter Z," introducing a new word, asking the reader if they knows what it means. Admitting to making it up, the book then defines the word as meaning ALL the things girls are BEYOND being pretty.

The Pretty One
Author: Keah Brown
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982100559
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
From the disability rights advocate and creator of the #DisabledAndCute viral campaign, a thoughtful, inspiring, and charming collection of essays exploring what it means to be black and disabled in a mostly able-bodied white America. Keah Brown loves herself, but that hadn’t always been the case. Born with cerebral palsy, her greatest desire used to be normalcy and refuge from the steady stream of self-hate society strengthened inside her. But after years of introspection and reaching out to others in her community, she has reclaimed herself and changed her perspective. In The Pretty One, Brown gives a contemporary and relatable voice to the disabled—so often portrayed as mute, weak, or isolated. With clear, fresh, and light-hearted prose, these essays explore everything from her relationship with her able-bodied identical twin (called “the pretty one” by friends) to navigating romance; her deep affinity for all things pop culture—and her disappointment with the media’s distorted view of disability; and her declaration of self-love with the viral hashtag #DisabledAndCute. By “smashing stigmas, empowering her community, and celebrating herself” (Teen Vogue), Brown and The Pretty One aims to expand the conversation about disability and inspire self-love for people of all backgrounds.

Sitting Pretty
Author: Rebekah Taussig
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062936816
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
A memoir-in-essays from disability advocate and creator of the Instagram account @sitting_pretty Rebekah Taussig, processing a lifetime of memories to paint a beautiful, nuanced portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most. Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Rebekah Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump). None of this felt right; and as she got older, she longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling. Writing about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn’t fit, Rebekah reflects on everything from the complications of kindness and charity, living both independently and dependently, experiencing intimacy, and how the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media directly translates to everyday life. Disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. By exploring this truth in poignant and lyrical essays, Taussig illustrates the need for more stories and more voices to understand the diversity of humanity. Sitting Pretty challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, kind and relentless, as we set to work to write an entirely different story.
