Book Summary - What Are Pretty Girls Made Of? A Glamma & Princess Adventure By Dr. Lateshia Woodley, Alexandra Kelly, and Arianna Kelly What Are Pretty Girls Made Of? is a beautifully written and illustrated children's book that fol-lows two curious sisters-Princess One and Princess Two-on an unforgettable journey of dis-covery with their glamorous grandmother, Glamma. Through a summer of magical adventures, the girls explore what it truly means to be "pretty" by uncovering the strength, beauty, and legacy woven into their heritage. Glamma, whose sparkle is matched only by her wisdom, guides the girls through sacred spaces and historical landmarks across the Southeastern United States. From the Carlos Museum to the Cherokee Indian Village and the breathtaking Toccoa Falls, the girls connect deeply with their Native American and African ancestry. They learn about Red Creek Indians, unconquered Semi-nole warriors, and the royalty of ancient Nubian queens-all while engaging with artifacts, sto-ries, and traditions passed down through generations. The book highlights key cultural experiences-such as tasting traditional fry bread, hiking sacred trails, and witnessing the Trail of Tears performance-to emphasize themes of resilience, commu-nity, and remembrance. Each moment teaches the girls that beauty lives in courage, kindness, his-tory, and identity. Through lyrical storytelling and powerful imagery, the narrative affirms that "pretty girls" are not defined by appearances, but by who they are, where they come from, and how they carry their legacy forward. Glamma's message is clear: they are made of heart, heritage, and unstoppable dreams. What Are Pretty Girls Made Of? is an inspiring read for families and classrooms, offering children a chance to explore cultural pride, ancestral wisdom, and the importance of knowing and sharing their story.
