Big

This inspiring story encourages children to be "big" in ways that are good for themselves and others. Big is not about being a certain age, or weight, or height. When exactly does BIG happen? This book empowers children to discover the little ways they can build confidence and contribute to the community by becoming the best possible versions of themselves.

After many years working as a designer and studio manager in the UK greeting card industry, Clare Fennell took the plunge and decided to follow her lifelong dream and illustrate children's books. She ousted her husband from his beloved study and converted it to a rather messy studio filled with children's picture books, cats, cushions, pencils and paint. Today she is joyfully collaging the contents of her imagination into children's books and loving every moment.
