Born with cerebral palsy, her greatest desire used to be normalcy and refuge from the steady stream of self-hate society strengthened inside her. But after years of introspection and reaching out to others in her community, she has reclaimed herself and changed her perspective. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Pretty One\u003c\/i\u003e, Brown gives a contemporary and relatable voice to the disabled--so often portrayed as mute, weak, or isolated. With clear, fresh, and light-hearted prose, these essays explore everything from her relationship with her able-bodied identical twin (called \"the pretty one\" by friends) to navigating romance; her deep affinity for all things pop culture--and her disappointment with the media's distorted view of disability; and her declaration of self-love with the viral hashtag #DisabledAndCute. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy \"smashing stigmas, empowering her community, and celebrating herself\" (\u003ci\u003eTeen Vogue\u003c\/i\u003e), Brown and \u003ci\u003eThe Pretty One \u003c\/i\u003eaims to expand the conversation about disability and inspire self-love for people of all backgrounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keah Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1982100540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982100544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade Plus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e508858 \/ Pretty One: On Life, Pop Culture, Disability, and Other Reasons to Fall in Love with Me\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2019 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 pg. 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 pg. 12","brand":"Keah Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052153893119,"sku":"9781982100544","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_997694eb-a9ed-4424-8ec2-30ee32e4d605.jpg?v=1685017247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-pretty-one-keah-brown-9781982100544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
