Book Synopsis

Little Big Sister tells the story of Starr, a girl with dwarfism who lives with her mum and younger sister, Babs. As the girls get older and Babs overtakes Starr’s height, Starr understands there is something different about her.

When Starr starts primary school she is at first upset by being shorter than the other children. But with help from her mum and teacher, Starr finds the courage to shine.

A fun and gentle story about disability, family and fitting in, told by a major children’s author and illustrated by an artist with dwarfism.



Trade Review

"Takes quite a mature approach to how it feels to be different and how saying difference doesn’t matter is sometimes more of a hindrance than a help. It’s also about the big love that can come with facing that difference as a team, and the joy of having a sister, big or small, or both at once."
