Offering a fascinating look at a worldwide phe-
nomenon, this compendium of stories and photos
follows the “You Are Beautiful” movement that
began simply with 100 stickers printed in 2002 in
Chicago that has since evolved into block-long
murals, public installations, and more than one
million stickers in circulation. Told through never-
before-heard accounts and stunning images, it
starts with the very small beginnings and follows the
project through 10 years of growth. Shedding light
on the incredible journey of this message of positiv-
ity, this album demonstrates how “You Are Beauti-
ful” has touched lives on every continent in the
world, including Antarctica.
A Decade of
You Are Beautiful

Think of your very favorite baby name. Are you picturing it? Now, what if you found out that the name
means "ostrich intestines" or "shallow muddy puddle?" Would you still like the name? Of course you
would! And that is why we need to rethink the way we name our babies. Come and discover a new
kind of baby-name book based on the theory that we choose names based on our interactions and
experiences, rather than on contrived meanings. Sections include How to Name Name Twins Twins,
Geek Chic, and Baby Name Spellapalooza. Fresh, thorough, and creative, this unique twist on a stan-
dard resource for parents-to-be has thousands of traditional names and thousands more waiting to
be discovered, including classic and elegant to hipster and brave names for your son or daughter.

names. She lives in Eugene, Oregon.
