Too Big for Scottie's Pockets

By Mickisha Wyley

Scottie notices that the grown-ups in her family always seem to carry important things. Mama has what she needs. Grandma Maria keeps useful things close by. Uncle Dev is ready for whatever comes next.

So Scottie decides she should carry important things, too.

Soon, her pockets are stuffed with treasures, tools, and tiny objects she is certain might be useful. But when everything tumbles out in one spectacular clatter, Scottie begins to wonder whether she has anything important at all.

With warmth, humor, and a loving multigenerational family, Too Big for Scottie's Pockets is a gentle picture book about helping, belonging, and the big meaning children can find in small things.

Perfect for ages 4-8, this heartfelt read-aloud celebrates family connection, grandparents, curiosity, and the quiet ways children are already part of what matters.
