OKLAHOMA CITY - OklaNews -- In a world that often values conformity, it can be challenging to embrace our individuality and find strength in our differences. To help children become proud of their uniqueness and accept themselves for who they are, Dr. Nichelle Morris Williams has released The Butterfly Empress.

In The Butterfly Empress, Veteran and bestselling author Dr. Nichelle Morris Williams introduces us to Nylah-Grace, who, through the ups and downs of life, learns to love her heritage, cherish her distinct features, and speak her truth with confidence. With her grandmother, GiGi, by her side, Nylah-Grace leans on her wisdom to remember the importance of being Black, beautiful, brilliant, and bold.

The story starts with Nylah-Grace telling the reader, "I'm a different kind of girl. I color boldly outside the lines to the pictures of the world. Sometimes being different from others makes me a little sad, but all I wanna feel is a rainbow unicorn kind of glad. That's when I go to my favorite place at GiGi's knees, and these are some of the things she says to me."
