Beautifully Tia
Tia is a bright, creative, and proud Indigenous girl who is learning that her differences are part of what makes her special.
Born with Turner Syndrome and a limb difference, Tia has faced hospital visits, surgeries, and questions from others. Through it all, she discovers the strength of her culture, the love of her family, and the confidence that comes from embracing who she is.
As butterflies flutter throughout the story, Tia learns important lessons about growth, belonging, resilience, and identity. Along the way, readers are reminded that every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and proud of who they are.
Filled with beautiful illustrations inspired by Ojibway floral art and Indigenous culture, Beautifully Tia is a heartwarming story that celebrates diversity, self-acceptance, and the power of being yourself.

Because every child deserves to know:
You belong.

You are enough.
You are beautifully you.
