“My Scar is Beautiful encourages readers to see their scars as symbols of courage, healing, and individuality rather than something to hide. The balance between emotional honesty and encouragement allows the book to speak to children recovering from medical treatment while helping classmates, siblings, and caregivers better understand those experiences. A wonderful book for children who feel self-conscious about their scars. It’s perfect for classrooms and families to show that scars are not imperfections but reminders of strength and healing. Parents, teachers, counselors, and healthcare professionals will also find My Scar is Beautiful useful as a conversation starter about body image, healing, and self-acceptance.”
—Reviewed by Carol Thompson for Readers' Favorite, 5 stars!
"I bought this book for my then-4-month-old daughter, who survived open-heart surgery to correct a CHD at just 3 weeks old. While she was then too young to understand, it helped us lay the groundwork for how we'll talk to her about her scar as she grows up. The affirmations helped me, as a heart mom, reframe my view of her scar. She's now 18 months old and this book is in regular rotation - she loves the illustrations!”

"Each sentence in this outstanding children's book is as beautifully crafted as the artwork that accompanies it. The author delivers a meaningful message with each page, empowering children to view their scar as a badge of honor. This book is not just for children. Teenagers and young adults could find strength in its concepts. It is not surprising to read that the author was inspired by travelling this journey with her own child."
