A beautifully illustrated picture book with a "BIG" message, BIG is the perfect gift to celebrate all the biggest milestones in life, in the spirit of Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! Are you big yet? Follow three young friends as they figure out that being BIG isn't measured by years, or weight, or inches. It's being healthy. Being imaginative. Being kind and helpful. It's being a friend to others, and a friend to the Earth. It's being the biggest YOU you can be! Every day, in lots of little ways, readers will discover we all have the chance to be BIG! Touching on ideas such as health, citizenship, and imagination, BIG is the key to heartfelt dialogue between children and caregivers about the importance of values over valuables.
