Big Belly, Big Heart

By Nicole Hobbs

Kai has always known who he is.

He's the kid who loves making people laugh. The cousin who never misses a family gathering. The boy who knows he's surrounded by people who love him.

But when teasing at school turns into bullying, Kai begins to see himself through other people's eyes. The hurtful words follow him everywhere-into the classroom, onto the playground, and even into his own thoughts. Soon, the confident boy everyone knows starts pulling away from the people who care about him most.

As Kai struggles to find his footing, his family refuses to let him face the challenge alone. With the support of his grandparents, his parents, his cousins, and especially his older cousin RJ, Kai begins a journey toward healing, forgiveness, and self-acceptance.

Filled with humor, heart, and unforgettable family traditions, Big Belly Big Heart is a touching story about bullying, belonging, and discovering that your worth is never determined by what others say about you.

Because sometimes the people who help us find ourselves are the people who never stopped believing in us.
