Growing up Ashley Graham remembers her mother being a beacon of not just body positivity but of inner love and acceptance. Now, as she begins to riase her own children, Isaac, 4, and 2-year-old twins Malachi and Roman, she hopes to be the same role model and light for them and other littles with the release of A Kid’s Book About Beauty, a 34-page tome offering positive affirmations for all ages.
“Guess what? It’s finally here! You can find my children’s book ‘A Kid’s Book About Beauty’ on shelves now,” the model wrote on Instagram in celebration of the launch on June 4. “I poured my heart into this book for kids of all ages and genders. Inspired by my career in outer beauty, I wanted to teach my boys—and all children—that true beauty comes from within. A Kid’s Book About Beauty is a reminder to speak kindly to ourselves because our kids are always listening. I hope this book brings as much joy and understanding to your family as it has to mine! And a special shout-out to my Ma for always speaking well of herself in front of me!”

They’re these fearless little dinosaurs that really don’t know what life is at all [but] we do have them say things out loud, like ‘I am healed, and I am strong, and I am smart and kind,’ " she told People . “I think parents are going to get a lot out of [the book.] They’ll be reading and questioning, ‘Do I talk this nice to myself?’ Kids follow exactly what their parents do. You have to be conscious, you have to be self-aware of how you speak about yourself.”
A Kid’s Book About Beauty is now available on Amazon.com .
