World Kid Lit Month 2023: A book by an author of colour

A Book by an Author of Colour: 

Big. 
By Vashti Harrison. 

Little Brown / Puffin Books, 2023. 

This is beautiful. 

And heart-breaking.

And inspiring. 

It has made me think about phrases I use, when talking to children. 'Wow, you're getting big!' 

The use of colour - from pink to grey and back - is amazing.

The changes in perspective and the use of the full double-page spread. 

An incredible work of love and art. 

Bonus cat.
