Little Ah-Fu has a big imagination, but he can't imagine being the Oxherd Boy . . . yet.
When the day comes for Ah-Fu to bring the huge family ox home from the woods, he worries that he's not big enough to do the job.
Will fear and self-doubt drive Ah-Fu home empty-handed? Or can he rely on his wits and compassion to become the Oxherd Boy his family expects-and prove to himself that he is, indeed, big enough?
Delightfully paired with exquisite illustrations, this empowering story inspired by traditional Chinese philosophy shows kids big and small how to trust themselves and embrace what they can be.
Regina Linke is a Taiwanese American artist specializing in contemporary Chinese gongbi painting, using both traditional ink and wash techniques and digital painting to create truly enchanting illustrations. Big Enough is the origin story of the main character in her well-loved, inspirational book for adults, The Oxherd Boy: Parables of Love, Compassion, and Community. After living in Taipei, Taiwan, Regina moved to Rhode Island with her husband and young son, who inspires her every day as a real-life oxherd boy.
