Praise for Now I Am Big!: A Board Book (Empowerment Series)

**STARRED REVIEW**
"Lovely, understated verse and artwork with a delightfully vintage feel are in perfect sync in this testament to a boy's increasing capabilities...It's a quiet yet confident affirmation of the skills children master with each passing year."
