ONCE I WAS LITTLE, NOW I AM BIG

About the Book

For several years I have observed how many things look so different now than when I was younger. I felt driven to write a book about it. When you are a small child, many things look huge to you, even sometimes the food on your plate. The book is about changes is our life taken from the big and little concept. Life changes some things that looked huge to a child, now look smaller, don’t fit, etc. as you get older. This book contains some of those comparisons that looked one way as a child, but as an older child or even as an adult, they look, feel, or fit a different way.
