Beautifully Made - Paperback

by Sharmeika Davis-Boyd (Author), Milan Samadder (Illustrator)

MaryAnn and Annabella, twelve-year-old best friends since birth, have always shared everything. But during an unsupervised shopping trip to the mall, MaryAnn is blindsided by an unfamiliar feeling of envy toward Annabella, one she cannot explain or shake. As the weeks go by, MaryAnn pulls away, comparing herself to her best friend and struggling with self-doubt about her own skin, hair, and features. Follow MaryAnn and Annabella as they navigate growing pains, jealousy, and the challenge of loving what they see in the mirror and discover that friendship and self-acceptance can overcome even the hardest lessons about growing up.
