LeAshia Jenkins has always known she was different.
With one blue eye and one brown, dark skin, and a quiet spirit, she's learned early how quickly the world notices what doesn't fit its idea of beauty. At school, she's often overlooked. At home, she's deeply loved-but even that love can't quiet the questions she carries inside.
LeAshia has a gift for words. She writes poems that say the things she's too afraid to speak aloud. But standing in front of others-being truly seen-feels terrifying. What if they only see what she's learned to hide?
When new friendships, unexpected encouragement, and moments of courage begin to pull her out of the shadows, LeAshia must decide whether she will keep shrinking... or step into the truth of who she was created to be.
Beautifully Different is a tender, honest story about identity, confidence, and learning that being different was never a flaw-it was the design all along.
Perfect for middle-grade readers, this story reminds us that our uniqueness isn't something to overcome... it's something to celebrate.
