About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler or preschooler is obsessed with 'how tall' they are or is feeling frustrated by the things they aren't yet big enough to do. It is a gentle, rhythmic celebration of the physical and developmental milestones that transform a small child into a 'big kid.' Daniel Kirk uses vibrant illustrations and simple, poetic text to compare the child's growth to the world around them. The book focuses on the joy of newfound independence, like reaching higher shelves or running faster. It is a perfect choice for building self-confidence and helping children visualize their own progress through a lens of wonder and gratitude. It serves as both a concept book about size and a sweet reassurance that growing up is a natural, exciting adventure.
