🏅 Winner of the Caldecott Medal! A Coretta Scott King Award Author and Illustrator Honor Book, National Book Award finalist, and New York Times bestseller!

A deeply moving and beautifully illustrated story about self-acceptance, finding your voice, and embracing who you are.

A little girl is often told that she is too big—too loud, too much, and taking up too much space. As these words begin to shape how she sees herself, she struggles to feel comfortable in her own skin. Through courage and self-discovery, she learns that there is nothing wrong with being exactly who she is.

With spare, powerful text and exquisite illustrations, Vashti Harrison explores how words can both hurt and heal, offering a tender lesson about fitting in, standing out, and the beauty of joyful acceptance.

A powerful celebration of confidence, kindness, and the freedom to be yourself.
