Bookroo's summary

Mr. Big is intimidating in size but gentle at heart. Despite his friendly nature, his appearance keeps others away. Can he find a way to reveal his true self and connect with those around him? This heartwarming tale explores themes of inclusion and understanding, challenging us to look beyond appearances and embrace the kindness within.

From the publisher

Mr Big is strong, Mr Big is tough, Mr Big is . . . well . . . BIG! He has just one small problem - because of the way he looks he just can’t get people to stick around. How can he show them that although he may look a little scary, he is just a great big softy inside? With his trademark bold color and masterful graphic simplicity, Ed Vere sensitively and humorously tackles the universal and current subject of inclusion, reminding the reader that to get to know someone you need to look beyond their exterior. This is the third picture book from an exciting new talent, whose previous titles The Getaway and Banana have received great critical acclaim.
