Instead of trying to fix your child, what if the real work is healing yourself?

Praise for Beautiful Rebellion

"We cannot give what we do not have."

“This fundamental observation applies as much to human relationships as it does to the realm of physics. And with Beautiful Rebellion, Jean Park has given us who are practicing being parents something many of us don’t have because we also have not received it. But the careful reader will astutely and quickly gather that our author is not primarily giving us information, although the information found herein is easily accessible and immediately and helpfully applicable. Rather, she is most importantly giving us her authentic self, wrapped in the vulnerability and wisdom of story after story of repaired ruptures, beauty cultivated in places we could hardly imagine it being so, and durable hope being formed out of suffering. Read Beautiful Rebellion and come to discover the expansive love you have for your children, because you first discover the expansive love God has for you.”

Meet the Illustrator

Myung-Eun I., Kim (Jean’s Mom!) is the artist behind the original watercolor illustrators featured throughout Beautiful Rebellion.

After studying Decorative Arts at Ewha Woman’s University in Korea, she immigrated to the United States in 1977, where she set aside her artistic pursuits while raising a family and building a new life. This mother-daughter collaboration marks a joyful return to her lifelong love of painting—a beautiful reflection of the healing and restoration celebrated throughout these pages.
