🌟 Recommendation Details
This heartwarming book is about a girl who had big dreams, big laughs, and a very big heart. People would tell her, "What a big girl you are!" And it meant a good thing. Until it wasn't. She began to think she was big. Too big even. People would call her, "Whale!!" "Moose!!" and some would just laugh. Even adults. She began to feel like she didn't belong here. That she would get judged for every little thing she did. But still staying invisible. "YOU'RE TOO BIG!" People would say. These words were hard to shake off. They stayed stuck in her head. "Aren't you too big?" "Have you tried being smaller?" "Why can't you just fit in?". But, she pushed them away, and found her place. This book is teaching people about being insecure, that those are other people's words, and that doesn't mean it describes you. The only opinion you should care about is yours. This book also teaches you that you should always love yourself. I highly recommend this book because it teaches you many life lessons, and has pictures that help you understand this book better.
