Lizzie Velásquez, born with a rare medical condition, opens her soul and shares her remarkable story, giving us an inspiring testimony. This book, whether read by an individual or shared as a group, becomes a tool to discover that beauty is unique to each of us. Includes over 50 color photographs of Lizzie and her family. A sampling of messages Lizzie has received from around the world: Dear Lizzie, I am pregnant right now for the first time and want to teach my future child how to respect and see beauty in everyone. For the last few weeks, I've been wondering how I'm going to do that. I think your book will help me. Your parents did an excellent job because you seem very strong and sure of yourself. Hopefully, my child will be too! -Jessica Lizzie, I am from South America where it is difficult to achieve goals. My problems are nothing compared to yours. But if you can do it, I can too. I will pray with all my heart you finally receive a proper diagnosis. You've inspired me! -Miguel Hi Lizzie, Wow, I admire your courage. You have a great attitude! It makes me feel ashamed for ever feeling sorry for myself. You really inspire me. Keep it up, Lizzie! -Emily Dear Lizzie, Just want to let you know how much I respect you. I am 21 years old and have never watched anyone my own age with as much courage and heart as yourself. Wish you the very best in the future. -Nicholas Lizzie, I am a 30 year old woman from the U.K.. You sure are a fighter and you help me fight a little more too. I'm dealing with depression and sometimes life seems too hard for me. When I read your story, I knew that I - too - have to fight. I wish the best for you and hope all your dreams come true. -Helen Dear Lizzie, You look so thankful, so happy. How do you do it? I'm so glad there are still people like you in the world. -Monika

Hello Reader! I am thrilled to welcome you and tell you a little about me.
I am a Colombian bilingual author and artist. I taught English and Spanish for many years to students of all ages. I just launched my podcast, based on Victoria Amazonica, a book I published two years ago, which details my experiences in the Amazon Rainforest and is your personal invitation to experience life and adventures in the Emerald Rainforest. Find the podcast, Victoria Amazonica with Lina Cuartas, on Apple Podcasts. The podcast offers English and Spanish episodes.

I am re-editing Victoria Amazonica, both English and Spanish versions, to publish them with photos and art by August 2020.
I am also the steward of Lunita's Little Free Library, where people can come and take a book, or leave a book, or just sit and read on my bench.
I have become an Ambassador of Compassion, with the first cohort of Stanford's School of Altruism and Care, and I have edited my children's activities books to focus on the principles of Compassion and Kindness, which the world seems to be needing, urgently.
All of my books are under revision and re-formatting to better serve the needs of our new reality in this changing reality of 2020.
I will update this bio as soon as my books have been re-published and updated.
For now, listen to my weekly episodes and visit our Facebook pages, Lunita Company and VictoriaAmazonica.

Humbling and Inspiring!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014

Lizzie Velasquez is truly the most beautiful person in the world. Her aura is so bright it humbles all of us in comparison. After reading "Lizzie Beautiful" I could not help but re-evaluate my perceptions of, how I treat, and even overlook my fellow man. Thank you Lizzie for awakening something in me that was gone or never existed.

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2013

This book was great. It told how Lizzie overcame her disabilities. She got hate mail and it said "Why don't you kill yourself." Yes she had her bad times but there were friends who she grew up with that helped her along. Also her parents didn't treat her any difference. She is a very strong woman and any one who is being bullied or down on themselves should read this.

Great seller but the book itself is written for young readers and is not so much a biography as a collection of letters to Lizzie from her mother and people who support her.

Inspirational and comforting!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book makes a perfect gift for anyone struggling through hard times. The lessons gleaned within are humbling and I have read it cover to cover, multiple times. Ms. Velasquez is an inspiration and everyone owes it to themselves to read her story. That goes double if you find yourself feeling self pity when you know you shouldn't. This book could be the catalyst for a happier you.

This was the best book. So good for people to read. I was really engrossed in this book. I would highly recommend this book, especially, if you or anyone you know, who has been bullied in any manner, needs to read this book.

What a story and loaded with lessons and inspiration without even trying. Any teenager or person struggling with self-esteem or identity should benefit by reading Lizzie's story and come away from it realizing that appearances mean very little compared to what's on the inside.

Schön, leider etwas teuer.

Reviewed in Germany on March 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

Für den Preis ist das Buch relativ dünn. Die geringe Seitenzahl erklärt sich dadurch, dass das Buch eigentlich gar keine Geschichte ist, wie ich es erwartet hatte (und vermutlich nicht genug erkundigt), sondern Lizzie und ihre Mutter Rita erzählen meist nur kurze Ausschnitte aus ihrem Leben. Das Buch wird aber durch Bilder aus Lizzies Leben schön aufgepeppelt und die Botschaft, die dieses Buch hat und die erzieherischen Mittel der Eltern finde ich, sind von äußert schöner Bedeutung.

Historia de una superación

Reviewed in Spain on August 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

No se trata de un libro de literatura de calidad, pero sí da a conocer la historia real de esta joven que ha salido adelante gracias a su tesón.

Los seguidores de la hoy popular Lizzie Velasquez, conocerán de primera mano su transformación, su entorno familiar, sus sueños... No es, sin embargo, un libro para amantes de la literatura propiamente dicha.
