Think Big is a beautifully written and illustrated social-emotional learning (SEL) story that helps children recognize the power of their thoughts. Maria, a relatable first grader, faces more than just a new classroom-she faces her fear of doing something she's always wanted to try: the firepole.

With the help of two inner voices, Mr. Big, who lifts her up, and Mr. Small, who holds her back, Maria learns how to shift from fear to bravery and from self-doubt to self-belief.

This powerful growth mindset story helps children understand that their thoughts can lift them up or hold them back, building essential skills in self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience.

With inclusive Type 1 diabetes representation and playful, relatable inner voices guiding the way, Think Big makes SEL simple, tangible, and fun-whether used at home, in the classroom, or in therapy.

Perfect for parents, teachers, and counselors, this story is ideal for fans of Bubble Gum Brain, Fantastic Elastic Brain, and Inside Out.

Give your child a story that inspires brave thinking, emotional strength, and unstoppable confidence-because mindset matters.

With a decade of teaching experience, a degree in Math and Education, and a passion for growth mindset, author Rashda Munawar brings heart and authenticity to every page. She calls British Columbia home, where she lives with her husband and three children.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
