The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page

A beautiful and humorous book about using your voice, taking up space, and being true to yourself, written and illustrated by Academy Award-winning actor and producer Geena Davis.

Sheila is the girl who lives inside this book!

She does some typical little-kid things, like learning to walk, saying her first words, eating pizza . . . starting school and making new friends.

But Sheila knows people are reading her book, and she wonders if she really is interesting enough to have a book written all about her.

Then one summer, Sheila becomes very interesting indeed . . . in a BIG, BIG way!

One thing is sure—SHEILA WILL GROW ON YOU!Praise for The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page:
