ABOUT THE BOOK

Be Big! tells the tale of sweet Beatrice, a little girl in a blue tutu who is afraid of being her unique self in the brand new world of first grade. Set against a gorgeously-illustrated backdrop, this story encourages little ones to face their fears and be brave, be bold, and be big. Follow Beatrice as she embarks on her first day of first grade alongside Benjamin the butterfly, who encourages Beatrice to be big and reminds her that she is not alone. Be Big! inspires families to discuss how children can overcome their fears and still take up space, with a sense of community all around them.
