Once upon a time, there existed a young girl adorned with a captivating laughter and an immense heart, accompanied by grand aspirations. As she continued to flourish, her growth was evident, yet it was a journey that would ultimately lead her astray. As the girl grew larger, the world began to diminish her, casting her into a state of feeling small and invisible. She yearned for a sense of belonging and recognition, yet the weight of societal expectations began to erode her self-identity. However, within her vast size lay an untapped reservoir of inner strength, a resilience that allowed her to transcend the hurtful words and perceive her true worth.

Through captivating illustrations and a gatefold flap, this tender and reassuring story delves into the realm of being big in a world that often values diminutiveness. It serves as a powerful message of body positivity and self-acceptance, particularly for young readers. "BIG" stands as the inaugural picture book crafted by Vashti Harrison, the acclaimed author and illustrator behind the bestselling "Little Leaders" series.
