Description
Mr Big is strong, Mr Big is tough, Mr Big is . . . well . . . BIG!
He has just one small problem - because of the way he looks he just can't get people to stick around.
How can he show them that although he may look a little scary, he is just a great big softy inside?
With his trademark bold colour and masterful graphic simplicity, Ed Vere sensitively and humorously tackles the universal and current subject of inclusion, reminding the reader that to get to know someone you need to look beyond their exterior.
