Description

A joyful ode to play and boyhood, perfect for readers who loved The King of Kindergarten.

I am a big boy,
Full of big boy joy!

Big boys can climb high and go, go, go! Big boys can smash and crash. They can share and play.

Playtime is the best time--a time of wonder, where big boys can run free, make new friends, and imagine worlds beyond their own. Their big feelings and big energy spread big boy joy for all to share!

Acclaimed author Connie Schofield-Morrison and New York Times bestselling illustrator Shamar Knight-Justice join forces in this exuberant celebration of imagination, play, and big boy joy!
