What happens when a girl learns to love everything that makes her different? She changes the world. Erica Collins: A Pioneer Plus Model of the World Stage is an inspiring illustrated biography for young readers that follows the real-life journey of Erica Collins—from being a tall, self-conscious nine-year-old to becoming an international plus-size model, motivational speaker, and advocate for representation. When Erica is elected class president at her elementary school, it sparks a lifelong path of leadership, self-confidence, and breaking barriers. As she rises to become Miss Plus America and models for brands like Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, Erica proves that beauty knows no size and that difference is a superpower. Her voice reaches classrooms, television screens, and even global stages—like her powerful speech at the Embassy of Nigeria’s African Fashion Week in Washington, D.C. This empowering story celebrates diversity, self-worth, and global impact, offering young readers a role model who shows them that confidence, courage, and kindness can shape the world.
