THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER.
From Kahran and Regis Bethencourt, the dynamite husband and wife duo behind CreativeSoul Photography, comes GLORY, a photography book that shatters the conventional standards of beauty for Black children. Featuring a foreword by Amanda Seales With stunning images of natural hair and gorgeous, inventive visual storytelling, GLORY puts Black beauty front and center with more than 100 breathtaking photographs and a collection of powerful essays about the children. At its heart, it is a recognition and celebration of the versatility and innate beauty of black hair, and black beauty. The glorious coffee-table book pays homage to the story of our royal past, celebrates the glory of the here and now, and even dares to forecast the future. It brings to life past, present, and future visions of black culture and showcases the power and beauty of recognizing and celebrating oneself. Beauty as an expression of who you are is power. When we define our own standards of beauty, we take back that power. GLORY encourages children around the world to feel that power and harness it.Review Quotes

My child's father is half Afro-Caribbean and he teared up when I showed him this gorgeous book. When I met him 1 million years ago when we were in our teens, he was still trying to straighten his hair and he immediately commented on how great it was to see Black children wearing their hair natural and being celebrated. I've been collecting coffee table art books off of my favorite creators' social media accounts. This book's creators crossed my fyp on Tiktok (thank you #blackgirltrain) and I immediately added this book to my cart. Very happy to add it to my growing stack. Thank you to Kahran and Regis for sharing their fantastic work and vision. I appreciate you!

This book is a beautiful illustration of black beauty. The portraits are really amazing. I’m giving this book to my beautiful “30” yr old daughter on Easter for her coffee table. The other two journals also came from Target. I bought two more of the same books for my young nieces for their birthday.
Great book for children!
