A beautiful and humorous book about using your voice, taking up space, and being true to yourself, written 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! Growing Up & Facts of Life Social & Life Skills Witty Celebrity

Critic reviews

Praise for The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page:

"[A] meta-fable about conformity and self-worth. . . it’s a straightforward arc whose delicate ink lines and washes make each scratchy single-plane drawing feel like a shared glimpse into a cherished personal sketchbook." —Publishers Weekly

I liked the uniqueness of the story of a girl growing up. Very self sufficient for a young girl.
