Devotional Teaches Girls the Unique Ways They Are Made Beautiful in God’s Image
In a society that values physical beauty, worldly achievements, and popularity, many young people suffer under the weight of the world’s expectations. The pressure to conform is especially intense for young girls who long to be accepted. Thankfully, the Creator of the world doesn’t judge our beauty through these impossible ideals. Instead, he focuses on the character of our hearts—our love for Christ, our fear of him, and our continual transformation by his grace.
Written for girls ages 9–12, this devotional traces the theme of beauty to help young readers know and love the one who created them in his likeness. Each reading includes a portion of a poem, a related Bible verse, a concise devotion, and a brief prayer. As young readers marvel at the beauty of God, they will be transformed, learning that the more they appreciate God’s beauty, the more beautiful they will become.

Caroline Saunders, author, Better Than Life: How to Study the Bible and Like It
“As a mom to a daughter on the cusp of adolescence, I’m grateful for What Makes You Beautiful. In an era when unsettling messages about beauty blare from every screen, Kristen Wetherell offers girls an alternative steeped in the true, the honorable, and the lovely. Her clear exposition of Scripture and poetic prose invite young women to draw up a chair, to ponder a while, and to marvel at the beauty of the risen Christ.”
Kathryn Butler, author, The Dream Keeper Saga and The Storyteller’s Bible
“In our culture, outward beauty is sought after—no matter the cost. That’s why What Makes You Beautiful is timely and needed. Kristen Wetherell shows girls that real beauty is more than skin deep, and the source of that beauty is found in relationship with the one who makes us beautiful. What Makes You Beautiful is a beautiful book that is engaging, biblical, and Christ-centered. I highly recommend it for all girls!”
Christina Fox, author, Who Are You? A Little Book About Your Big Identity
“Every little girl wants to be beautiful and to know her worth. What Makes You Beautiful begins by teaching who God is, what our purpose is, and where true beauty comes from. It doesn’t shy away from our innate desire to be beautiful but lays a foundation for finding that beauty rooted in rich gospel truths. This book is a precious treasure for young girls, reminding them that lasting beauty comes from knowing and reflecting God’s love and not from the superficial ideals of our fleeting world.”
