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.

I loved Big. As far as illustrated children's books go, I was impressed by the illustrations and the use of colour. This is a beautiful piece of work. There's just the right amount of illustrations and text in the book. It would be perfect to read to a child. The story is ye incredibly sad at times. I loved it.
