Just Be..



Sometimes it's hard to relax within ourselves &  just BE, although it seems like the simplest of things now doesn't it? It's one of the reasons I think I'm so drawn to the singular style of The Hep.  This beautiful new book by Margaret Cardillo with  illustrations by Julia Denos is a fabulous lesson in the art of just being & it's a glorious journey into the life & dreams of Audrey.  




BE inspired by stunningly soft pastel illustrations by Julia Denos
 & visit  her blog The Cinnamon Rabbit .  


"If I'm honest I have to tell you that I still read fairy tales–
and I like them best of all."
Audrey Hepburn

Just being Audrey is a children's book for ages 4-8.  Hardcover & only 32 pages, but I think  every Hepster will find it  irresistible FUN !!

Margaret Cardillo

 "As a little girl growing up in Nazi-occupied Europe, she learned early on that true kindness is the greatest measure of a person—and it was a lesson she embodied as she became one of the first actresses to use her celebrity to shine a light on the impoverished children of the world, through her work with UNICEF."

“She was too tall, her feet were too big, and her neck was too long” 
“her eyes seemed too big for her head.”
These were precisely the traits that made Audrey an iconic beauty as an adult.

Never allow yourself to be defined by one thing or another. Let every side of  YOU collide & coexist with the other...
