Through the stories of her childhood, author Michelle Phillips reveals a strong-willed child with a big personality, big dreams, and an exceptionally big head. A high center of gravity according to science and cartoons makes one topple-prone. Years of toppling taught Michelle that, when you're down, you almost always have a choice: to lie there and cry or to get back up again. Little Big Head explores what can happen when we choose to get back up again.
Chapter by chapter, complex insights unfold with Seussian simplicity. For example:
Your head must be big enough to hold self-confidence but little enough to remain humble.
We long for control over outcomes, for final say in decisions. But we can only control our choices and what goes on inside our own little heads.
We can all find a new "young" when we have a change of heart or want to try something new.
It's a coming-of-age quest to understand the choices that shape our lives. Whether you're traveling through a transition or embarking on an adventure, you'll find a spirited companion in Little Big Head.
