Beauty for Ashes by Casmè Barnes-Carter is a heartwarming 6 × 9 children's book about the strength of family, the support of a caring community, and the ability to find hope and beauty in the face of adversity through faith and a positive attitude.
A story first. A coloring experience second. The first half shares the Beauty for Ashes story, and the second half becomes an interactive coloring book so children can bring the story to life with their own creativity.
2026 Beauty for Ashes Coloring Contest: Children may color the second half and have a parent or legal guardian submit clear photos or scans by November 15, 2026. One Grand Prize Artist will have their colored book professionally published as a special keepsake edition and receive extra copies to share with family and friends for Christmas.
Delivery: Shipping & handling charges are additional for physical copies. Local pickup is also available; pickup arrangements will be confirmed after purchase.
