With sweet, vibrant art from Sawyer Cloud, this rhyming, lyrical picture book about making the effort to invest in the future of ourselves and our community teaches an invaluable lesson about having the patience to see that, in time, effort will blossom into a more peaceful and loving world.” — publisher […]

“At this year’s fair, a child is eager to try the big kid rides after growing just enough. The little kid rides only go ’round and ’round, but the big kid rides take you up to the skies!

I Want to Be Big!

“A boy’s wish starts out as a grand adventure of fantastical grown-up fun and becomes a huge problem when he continues to grow into an actual giant.
Jaiceon wishes he was big—bigger than his whole family, bigger than everyone! If he were big, he could reach the cookies on the counter, or make his own sandwich. He could stay up really late, swim with sharks, and even be best friends with Bigfoot! Nobody’s your boss when you’re big.

When Jaiceon’s wish is granted, rules shrink away, and he dives into a world of enormous fun. But as he grows, the situation grows out of control along with him, and Jaiceon starts to wonder if being small wasn’t so bad after all.

The sky’s the limit in this larger-than-life tale about how sometimes what we wish for isn’t exactly what we want, and how, with a little creativity and help, we can learn to love ourselves for who we are right now.” — publisher […]
