The internet’s “World’s Best Father," award-winning photographer Dave Engledow, follows up his picture book debut, The Little Girl Who Didn’t Want to Go to Bed, with a new hilarious, eye-popping photographic adventure in The Little Girl Who Wanted to Be Big. There once was a little girl who wanted to be big. Her dad told her that to be big, she had to think big. So she did—she grew taller than the tallest buildings, larger than the largest mountain, and big enough to reach the farthest plants. But being the biggest person in the universe also makes it hard to go home. What’s the biggest girl in the world to do when she’s grown up a little too fast? Dave Engledow first made waves on the internet with a picture he took of himself groggily cradling his daughter, Alice, like a football and squirting milk from her bottle into a “World’s Best Father” mug of coffee. Dave’s fathering adventures only got sillier, and soon he had enough pictures to publish an adult trade book, Confessions of the World’s Best Father. His work has been featured by People, GQ, the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, USA Today, the Today show, Time, and many others. Dave Engledow brings his vibrant photography to a picture book that’s all about why it’s okay to take your time just being a kid.

14-year-old Mo Tamworth keeps up a tough front while hiding her despair about her disability. She is especially miserable about how she looks during the three swimming lessons a week that she must take for remedial exercise. When horseriding is suggested as an alternative, she is overjoyed. However, when Mo starts learning to ride, she is forced to confront her attitudes to imperfection -- both in herself and in others. In the process, she comes to the realisation that the world is not divided into "whole" and "deficient" but that all people have their own level of handicap and even bullies have their individual hells to live in. This story charts the development of a teenage girl from her fury about not living up to an ideal of beauty and her disgust with any deviation from that ideal, to the realisation that her feelings of personal worth should depend only on her certainty that she is trying as hard as she can, to be the best that she can be.
