Publisher Description
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.

The message is not just for kids 4-8
I read this to my goddaughter. She said the grownups in the book should not tell the little girl to be like everyone else. I cried at the end because she is correct. Seeing the little girl tell the world that she doesn’t need their permission to be who she wants to be is a powerful statement. And the illustrations ties it all together beautifully.
