About The Book

Beloved author-illustrator Lita Judge reminds readers that even the biggest and bravest were once small...and even the smallest can become anything they choose to be.

There is strength in even
the smallest things.
Just as a bird grows
within her egg,
and a cub becomes
a brave big bear,
you too will grow.
Patience, little one.
And remember…
even the smallest will grow.


This beautiful and comforting book reassures children that the world is not too big but rather a place where there is room for everyone—and time enough to grow.
