When I look at you I see much more than meets the eye. I'm not sure how to list it all but with this book I'll try...

This picture book gently teaches us that we are all special and always more than meets the eye. With charming words written by singer-songwriter Rachel Emily -- who has penned countless number-one hits for the likes of Wretch 32, Leona Lewis and Girls Aloud -- you can't help but feel that you're reading something very special. From a brave tiger, through to a dancing river and over to the forest filled with oak trees, to rainbows that appear after the rain has gone and swooping swallows who are a welcome sight; children, and adults too, will cherish this stunning bedtime book that holds meaning for so many different reasons.

So let Rachel guide you through the natural world and explain why there is beauty in everything around you, and why YOU hold beauty within yourself too. Sometimes we all need to be reminded about self confidence, learning to love ourselves and how special we all are.
