The first picture book written and illustrated by award-winning creator Vashti Harrison traces a child’s journey to self-love and shows the power of words to both hurt and heal. With spare text and exquisite illustrations, this emotional exploration of being big in a world that prizes small is a tender portrayal of how you can stand out and feel invisible at the same time.

Why I like this book: this book is a real and raw experience of a child with body issues. What might be an adult jock or sarcastic comment can hurt a child’s body image.
