This Is My Wonderful Face

Many of the faces children encounter in the media are filtered and edited. Beauty filter apps and heavily curated social media feeds are an everyday part of the landscape, and the pressure to fit in with unrealistic beauty standards is stronger than ever before.

Our facial features are responsible for the five senses and for making expressions that reflect our emotions. With art portraying a wide variety of facial features, author Miriam Moore-Keish celebrates all the important functions our faces can serve—supporting children as they form a stable self-image that honors the many amazing things their wonderful faces do each and every day.
