This year saw the introduction of the first children's book from The Oxherd Boy, Big Enough. As a debut work breaking into a pretty crowded industry, the book has been welcomed with a lot of love in 2025.

And touching to me are the kids themselves, who are the most discerning and truthful critics and reviewers in their own right. Thank you to my young readers who explored the ideas and images presented in Big Enough.
If you have someone in your life who would appreciate a modern fable about fear, misunderstanding, and overcoming self-doubt, paired with original art, Martin House Books has a number of signed copies for the gift-giving season and can ship a copy to you and your loved ones.
