About this item
The boy in this book is growing and changing--just like you! Self-acceptance and change are celebrated when a child gives up babyish ways and becomes a "big boy"!The boy in this book is too big for his crib, his shoes, and his tricycle. And he is too big for Grandpa to pick up. But he is just right for his big-boy bed, his new shirt, and his bicycle. And he is just right for a hug from Grandpa, for his sister, and for this book. He is just right! Delightful illustrations by David McPhail make this confidence building picture book just right for preschoolers and kindergarteners. A celebration of self-acceptance, growth, and change!
