Pretty Ugly cover

In this incredible story about beauty standards, owning your uniquessness, and developing self-esteem, nationally acclaimed comedian and perpetual bestelling author David Sedaris and renowned creator of the Olivia picture boook series Ian Falconer come together to ponder the eternally relevant question: is true beauty really on the inside?

A wickedly amusing tale with an unexpected ending. In #prettyugly by @davidsedarisbooks & #ianfalconer we meet Anna Von Ogre, a monstrous girl. Her manners leave a lot to be desired and she was always trying to scare her family. One day she made a face of such beauty, and it stuck! She positively repulsed her neighbours and couldn’t bear the shame, so she left home. Would she ever be able to change her beautifully dreadful face?

Meet Anna Von Ogre, an ugly and bad behaving creature that turns into a pretty one or is it the opposite? Funny and hilarious story and one to read all over again... let’s appreciate beauty in all its weird and wonderful forms
