Winner of the Caldecott Medal! A Coretta Scott King Award Author and Illustrator Honor book, a National Book Award finalist, and a New York Times bestseller! This deeply moving story shares valuable lessons about fitting in, standing out, and the beauty of joyful acceptance, from an award-winning creator. 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.

Beautiful book
My husband saw this on the daily show and asked me to order it. I had no idea what it was about but read it when it got delivered. It is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. I cried. I will be reading this book to my newborn daughter for years to come and reinforcing its message over and over. I never expected a children’s book to make me feel so seen. Artwork is also beautiful and clever.

Amazing book
This book felt like a hug to my inner child - I bought it for myself and brought me to tears. The story is very close to my heart. The illustrations are beautiful and all the details are incredible. I would absolutely recommend.

Cute and artsy
Cute book. Good read for any kids with issues being "big". Pretty illustrations but a little difficult for a small child to follow, especially when they want to read the words. Good storytelling. Be aware: Barely has any words in it. Multiple pages only have a picture of the character. This book is very "artsy" and symbolic just to give you an idea, which although some people may find off-putting or whatever it is a good book to have an open discussion with your kids. Ex: My 4yo initially found this book to be a bit confusing and took some of the images a bit too literally, but is still a favorite in our book rotation. Would recommend.
