Editorial Reviews

"You will want this book on your bookshelf! Creatively told by Brittney Winn Lee and beautifully illustrated by Jacob Souva, this is the story of a little girl with BIG questions fueled by curiosity and wonder. Each question is an opportunity to explore and learn more about herself, others, and the world around her." —Tina Centineo, social-emotional learning coach

"In an age when Google, Siri, and Alexa can answer many of our questions on demand, there are still many big questions, such as: What makes someone good? Why do we have hearts that can feel hurt, upset, and afraid? A beautifully illustrated celebration of inquiry, The Girl with Big, Big Questions teaches kids to be curious about the world." —Mike Rawls, school librarian
