Description
Winner of the Caldecott Medal
Once there was a girl with a big laugh and a big heart and very big dreams.
She grew and grew and grew. And it was good... until it wasn't.
Discover the inspiring story book for children about self love and body positivity, featuring beautiful illustrations and a gatefold flap, from the award-winning creator of the bestselling Little Leaders series.
When the girl grows big, the world begins to make her feel small. She feels out of place and invisible, and soon she isn't herself at all. But with the girl's size comes huge inner strength - and this helps her look past the hurtful words to see how perfect she really is.
BIG is the first picture book to be written and illustrated by Vashti Harrison, award-winning creator of the bestselling Little Leaders series.
