Big (Caldecott Medal Winner & Coretta Scott King Honor Title)
Vashti HarrisonBig was also a finalist for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature, and follows a child's quest to loving themselves in a world which doesn't make them feel accepted or seen.

A healing balm with the power to make the world a bit kinder."
