ABOUT I WANT TO BE BIG!:
“This is a fun read-aloud showing a loving and supportive family and the value of not wishing away the present. A good choice for libraries with young readers.” ―School Library Journal
“Repetition throughout makes this story a strong choice for reading aloud […] The longing to be bigger and more independent is a common desire of young children and will likely resonate with many kids and their caregivers.” ―Kirkus
“It’s frustrating being little in a world of high counters and cabinets where your parents and siblings tower over you and the cookies are always out of reach […] A good lesson in adaptability.” ―Booklist
Tiffany Golden writes and illustrates stories inspired by her experiences as a Black disabled woman.
