Reviews

* "[An] ode to big self-love... Full of important truths about adultification and anti-fat bias, Harrison's deceptively simple telling tenderly offers the self-affirming beliefs that kids are kids in any body and that it's okay to take up space."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "The text is spare but pointed; Harrison's emotionally powerful, pink-hued illustrations focus on her protagonist's inner ­experience... This book offers readers an opportunity to remember that we all deserve love and respect--no matter what size we are."--Horn Book, starred review
"A gentle and loving book about what it means to be big. Harrison's stunning art style perfectly encapsulates all the beautiful roundness of being a child, and encourages love and warmth for yourself if you are navigating the world as big."--Tildy Lutts, Belmont Books (Belmont, MA)
* "This emotionally and socially resonant picture book stands out with its exceptional strength, beauty, and grace."--Booklist, starred review
* "Straightforward enough for even very young children to understand and appreciate, but with a vital message for adults too, Big is one of the year's most exceptional picture books."--BookPage, starred review
