Some scars come from surgeries. Some come from accidents. Some come from scary moments. No matter its origin, every scar shows proof of strength, courage, and survival.
With colorful illustrations and positive affirmations, plus hidden scars to find on every page, My Scar is Beautiful empowers readers of all ages to wear their scars with pride and confidence. It is a reminder that every scar is a story worth celebrating.
Because every scar says:
“I am brave. I am resilient. I am strong. I am a real-life superhero.”
My Scar is Beautiful was inspired by the author’s daughter who was born with ALCAPA, a rare congenital heart defect (CHD).
Readings will be at 10:30 & 1:00 on Friday 9/11.
To participate, book a play session that overlaps with the book reading time.
Books will be available for purchase directly from Caryn at the event for $15 (paperback) and $25 (hardback).
