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. 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. With beautiful illustrations and a gatefold flap this
quietly reassuring story explores the experience of being big in a world that celebrates small
promoting body positivity and self-acceptance in young readers. BIG is the first picture book
to be written and illustrated by Vashti Harrison award-winning creator of the bestselling
Little Leaders series.
