So Big and So Small

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.

John Coy is the author of the picture books On Your Way; Their Great Gift; Strong to the Hoop; Around the World; and many others. He lives in Minneapolis and visits schools nationally and internationally.

Steph Lew is a Chinese-American artist born and raised in San Francisco. She was always the kid who was busy drawing instead of studying in math class. She started taking art classes in high school and graduated from San Jose State University with a BFA in animation/illustration. She strives for strong light and color in her artwork. She enjoys drawing people, animals, and mermaids.

Lew has worked with clients such as Random House, Marvel, and Sesame Street. Before focusing on illustration, she worked as a concept artist on video games at EA, Disney Interactive, and Zynga.

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