Because I'm Big

Because I'm BIG... doesn't mean I want to fight. Because I'm BIG... doesn't mean I'm not friendly. Because I'm BIG... doesn't mean I don't get scared. Because I'm BIG is a charming, illustrated children's book featuring a big Cane Corso with an even bigger heart. Based on the author's experience with her own foster dog, the story playfully debunks many of the stereotypes associated with big dogs, but beyond that it has a positive underlying message about never judging anything or anyone by appearance alone. The author's beautiful, unique polymer clay illustrations bring vibrant color and life to her meaningful words, and this sweet book is sure to become a storytime favorite of animal lovers for years to come.
