Big traces a child’s journey to self-love and shows the power of words to both hurt and heal. I encourage you to share this wonderful book and its powerful ending with your children.
She’ll appear in town as part of the Columbus Metropolitan Library’s Authors at the Library on Saturday, April 5 in the Main Library.
