Already Amazing

---

A picture book by Beth Hess

Illustrated by Erik Jacobs

Before anyone told you who to be — you already were.

Already Amazing is a picture book about five things every child is already doing — things that feel so natural, so ordinary, so much like just being themselves that no one thinks to call them remarkable.

Until now.

Somewhere along the way, most of us got a quiet message: the things that come easily don't count. What you notice isn't special. What you care about isn't practical. What you imagine isn't realistic. 

The parts of you that feel most like you — those aren't the parts the world rewards.

So we stop talking about them. We stop leading with them. We learn to sound like something more marketable.

Already Amazing offers another way.

It names what's already there and says: this is your Amazingness. And it's been yours the whole time.
