Beyoncé: Shine Your Light
Blank Image _ Clear Button
The physical book is very Beyoncé-esc. First the book stands out because it's longer than it is wide. On the cover, Beyoncé's leotard is colorful and textured and her name is shimmering in gold. The book starts with Beyoncé as a child, to when she discovers her dream on stage, to the fabulous star she has become today.
