A celebration of hope and the promise of new babyhood by Sibert Honoree Traci N. Todd and Coretta Scott King Honoree Loveis Wise

An inspirational love letter from caregiver to a child, Hello, Beautiful is an intimate and uplifting depiction of love and courage. With its warmth and promise for a bold and confident future, it lyrically reminds children that they should take up space, follow their own unique paths, and find humanity in everyone around them and, most importantly, in themselves—because that is beautiful.
Praise for Hello, Beautiful:

"Final sentiments encourage being human and seeing “the human in everyone,” leading to an affirming close for this strengthening presentation of a life anchored in acceptance.”—Publisher’s Weekly

“A lovingly empowering bedtime read, or perhaps even a graduation gift for former toddlers preparing to leave the nest.”—Booklist

“A heartfelt and visually rich picture book that celebrates love, comfort, and emotional connection. The soothing language and meaningful use of color make it a memorable experience.”—School Library Reviews
