Beauty Woke is a powerful story of pride and community, told with bold lyricism and the heart of a fairy tale. Readers looking for a next-generation Sleeping Beauty will fall in love with the vivid art and lyrical text. For fans of Woke Baby and Dreamers. Beauty is a Puerto Rican girl loved and admired by her family and community. At first, she' s awake to their beauty, and her own-a proud Boricua of Taino and African descent. But as she grows older, she sees how people who look like her are treated badly, and she forgets what makes her special. So her community bands together to help remind her of her beautiful heritage.
Ramos' poetic ode to identity and validation winds itself through evocative imagery in both English and Spanish, connecting the strength of community with self-acceptance. From one-word stanzas echoing with a mother' s heartbeat to flowing anthems of pride, each page exudes energy and passion. Escobar' s powerful panorama of diversity is a blazing exclamation point to Beauty' s triumphant journey. This bold manifesto of cultural awareness reaches out to awaken the sleepwalkers among us. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) An authentic and affirming celebration of culture, community, and self-acceptance. --Booklist (starred review)
