In this first book for children, Mathou addresses the issue of body image, a subject rarely mentioned in children’s literature.
Anouk has a big batch of beautiful marbles in all colors and sizes that she shares with her friends during break-time. She also has a big scarf, a scarf so long and thick that all her friends can role themselves up in it until they all become one big bundle... Anouk has a big batch of beautiful marbles in all colors and sizes that she shares with her friends during break-time. She also has a big scarf, a scarf so long and thick that all her friends can role themselves up in it until they all become one big bundle of joy. Anouk has a big dog as well, the funniest and most adorable of all dogs, with magnificently thick fur she can sink her head into knowing that nothing bad or sad could ever reach her there. But over and above that, Anouk has a big heart, a heart so big that there is room for all her family and her friends, even for the neighbor’s cat.
But as Anouk has to hear from her classmate Jules, she has also a big bum and a big belly which make her ugly. As she spends the whole time crying, she wonders while the word “big” when applied to marbles, scarves, dogs and hearts has so many positive connotations but only negative and ugly ones when applied to the human body…
A book as tender and touching as a declaration of love which advocates for the right to be different, recommended for children from the age of 4
