Supermodel Winnie Harlow debuts her first picture book about a spunky, stylish little girl who learns that what makes her stand out makes her special.

Winnie is an artist and fashion is her paintbrush. She’s spent all summer designing her bold back-to-school looks: from flowers to feathers, stripes to sequins—everything has a place in Winnie’s masterpieces.

But when school starts, Winnie realizes not everyone sees things her way. Fitting in seems more important than standing out—and suddenly, her confidence starts to fade. Just when she needs it most, a heart-to-heart with her wise grandmother reminds Winnie of the beauty in being herself. With her head held high and her style shining brighter than ever, Winnie struts back to school ready to turn heads—and hearts.

Inspired by Winnie Harlow’s childhood and brought to life with dazzling illustrations by Sawyer Cloud, Simply Winnie is a vibrant celebration of self-expression, confidence, and the magic of being unapologetically you.
Winnie Harlow (she/her) is a world-renowned supermodel and beauty entrepreneur, hailed by Vogue as “one of the most recognized faces on the international fashion scene.” Diagnosed with vitiligo at the age of four, Harlow uses her platform and voice to amplify the importance of diversity in the fashion, entertainment, and beauty community and to open doors for broader representation.

Sawyer Cloud (she/her) is an illustrator who has worked on more than thirty books published around the world. She lives in Madagascar with her family.
"Cloud’s energetic cartoon illustrations readily convey Winnie’s emotions, and Winnie’s self-confidence will encourage readers to rock their own unique traits. A sunny celebration of self-expression." —Kirkus Reviews

"A visit to her grandmother’s garden, where a lone iris blooms boldly among the roses, helps Winnie realize that standing out is something to celebrate. Inspired by this revelation, she creates fun, fashionable accessories for her classmates, catalyzing moments of connection as well as ensuring that everyone can feel unique, “simply as they are.” Appealing digital illustrations spotlight the vibrant protagonist across this inspirational telling." —Publishers Weekly
