Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Spectacularly Beautiful tells the story of Shahad, a refugee who has moved to a new country and started a new school with her new teacher, Ms. Truong. Shahad comes to school every day with perfectly braided hair tied in ribbons. But her hair can't hide the scars on her face and leg that are painful reminders of the country she fled, making her feel less than beautiful, and different from her peers.
A teacher helps one of her students who is scarred from violence see that she is spectacularly beautiful.
