About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by siblings or peers, or when they struggle with the pressure to perform for an audience. It is an ideal choice for the quiet child who prefers the sidelines but still craves a sense of belonging and validation from their family. This graphic novel follows Bigfoot, who feels like a failure because he cannot get famous like his family, and Nessie, who is tired of being a celebrity. Through their charming friendship, the story explores the value of being seen for who you truly are rather than how many people are watching you. At just 64 pages, it is a low-pressure read for elementary students that uses humor to tackle big feelings about identity, family expectations, and the creative process. Parents will appreciate how it validates both the desire for attention and the need for privacy, ultimately teaching that finding one person who 'gets' you is more important than being a public sensation.
