Next to a speck of sand, you're huge. But gaze up into the night sky with its millions of stars, and suddenly you're tiny. So which is true? Are you big or little?

Author John Coy captures the whimsical poetry of a child's perspective as he looks at everything gigantic and minuscule in the universe to arrive at a surprising conclusion: kids are both big and little--just the right size to be exactly who they're meant to be.

She enjoys drawing people, animals, and mermaids. Lew has worked with clients such as Random House, Marvel, and Sesame Street.

When not drawing, Lew enjoys baking, sewing, propagating her succulents, and especially taking pictures of her shih tzu, Mango.

"""So Big and So Small is a delightful book about who we are in comparison to the world we live in, its vast wonder, its tiniest miracles. John Coy and Steph Lew have successfully rendered the magical and the mundane."" --Kao Kalia Yang, author of A Map into the World and The Shared Room ""Here is a welcoming picture book that supports all of us -- short and tall, big and small -- who wonder about our place in the nature of things."" --Susan Marie Swanson, author of The House in the Night ""This gentle book explores a child's most contradictory feelings in a simple and comforting way. The story touches on the universal question 'Where do I belong?' and suggests that the answer is 'Right where you are!'"" --Molly Beth Griffin, author of Rhoda's Rock Hunt and Ten Beautiful Things, and creator of Picture Book Salon ""As a reading specialist, I'm always on the lookout for quality texts that are accessible to kids. I'm confident that even struggling readers could read this sweet little story with expression and be able to relate to it."" --Tyanne Rezac, Title One Interventionist"
