Something Beautiful Sharon Dennis Wyeth Chris K Soentpiet 9780440412106 Books

Since I've worked with kids from some of the worst parts of town, this book pulls at my heart strings. I strongly believe that every child should be given the best start. Being surrounded by crime and ugly human actions can really bring down a young person. This book let's our little readers know that even when their surroundings aren't the best, they can always look within themselves for the beauty they desire.

Something Beautiful Sharon Dennis Wyeth Chris K Soentpiet 9780440412106 Books Reviews

Adorable book about the life Of a little girl in the inner city.
The illustrations are beautiful and my goddaughter loves to make up her own stories to the pictures. I'd definitely purchase this book again.
Great for children to recognize or look for the beauty around them especially inner city kids.
The story, Something Beautiful, is a wonderful springboard for discussion about how to make sense of a complex world. Big issues are tackled in this book. Gorgeous illustrations and engaging text frame examples of crime, poverty, homelessness, urban living, social structures within families and friendships, and clearly, recognizing the power in oneself to choose a positive perspective of one's life. The engaging illustrations focus on characters' expressions and different micro-settings within the larger picture of an urban neighborhood. All the characters share what they feel is beautiful in their lives to an inquisitive, little girl. My favorite part is when the little girl asks her mother about what is beautiful. Her mother responds, "You, of course!" The author follows the story with a personal experience with her own mother. This is a MUST read aloud for all children. The book will enable you to have a rich, memorable discussion about what is beautiful in a world filled with bad news. You will not be disappointed with this beautiful story!
This is a very sweet book and for some reason my grandkids really like it. My daughter was amazed that I bought it as it depicts a very different life style from our own. But it's nicely done, both the writing and the pictures and is good for children to realize that not all of them are so fortunate. And the little girl does find many things "beautiful" in her life.
I like to use this book with my students to show them there is beauty in everything, even when it doesn't appear to be so. It's about finding the best in all situations -- very optimistic, growth mindset type book.
It is such a beautifully illustrated book. I like that the situation is very urban and poor. I work as a counselor in a Catholic urban school 4th thru 8th grades. I will use this book as a guidance lesson in all five grades. It is such a nice message. The message is that there is beauty everywhere even when we can't initially see it. Even when our environment is full of litter and graffiti. We have only to look for it. And, of course, the beauty that is most important is the beauty within us. I love this book.
