Libby Woo Has Big Feet

Libby Woo is a young free spirit who just loves to run outside in her bare feet, feeling the cool grass on her toes. But when she gets a splinter in her foot and is told she should start wearing shoes, Libby Woo fears her big feet will get in her way. ​ Self-conscious about her larger-sized feet, Libby is surprised when someone gives her a compliment about her eyes and she realizes she has been spending so much time hating her feet that she forgot there are so many other parts of her to love. Inspired by her six-year-old American-Chinese granddaughter, Barbara Cicerchi's tale also includes Chinese words and characters that would be most interesting to preschoolers.
