Welbeck Publishing Group

BeYOUtiful is about feeling extraordinary, radiating confidence, and celebrating diversity in how we look. This book will look at self esteem and body image, how beauty has changed throughout history and beauty in difference. It explores how media and society presents beauty and gives constructive advice on how to BeYOUtiful, giving readers the tools to look critically at what they are shown, form their own opinions and build their confidence.

As much as we want to believe that young people gain confidence from messages like “beauty comes from within,” the reality is that our inner wellbeing is affected by how we feel about our outward appearance. This book will empower young readers to think critically about the images they see, reflect upon their own inner and outer beauty and find perspective in a harsh world. Author Shelina Janmohamed writes in an engaging, fun and honest manner, perfect for young readers who may be questioning their own beauty as they grow up.

Author Shelina Janmohamed is an award-winning journalist and VP of Ogilvy Islamic Marketing, and bestselling author of Love in a Headscarf, a memoir about growing up as a British Muslim woman.
