BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A beautiful happy black baby girl has big dreams. As she grows, adults tell her that she is such a good, big girl. As she learns and grows into a very large girl, she realizes that being big is no longer a good thing. Things people say make her feel sad, small, and invisible. Will she need to change to be happy?
Big confronts the issues of fitting in, standing out, and learning to accept yourself. I enjoyed the deep, painful, thoughtful journey of self-acceptance done in soft beautiful pastel illustrations.
