A beautiful and humorous book about using your voice, taking up space, and being true to yourself, written and illustrated by Academy Award-winning actor and producer Geena Davis.

Sheila is the girl who lives inside this book!

She does some typical little-kid things, like learning to walk, saying her first words, eating pizza . . . starting school and making new friends.

But Sheila knows people are reading her book, and she wonders if she really is interesting enough to have a book written all about her.

Then one summer, Sheila becomes very interesting indeed . . . in a BIG, BIG way!

One thing is sure—SHEILA WILL GROW ON YOU!
Geena Davis is a two-time Academy Award winner and one of Hollywood’s most respected actors, having appeared in several roles that became cultural landmarks, such as Thelma in Thelma & Louise, Dottie Hinson in A League of Their Own, and Mackenzie Allen in Commander in Chief. She has also been a nationally-ranked archer and is recognized for her tireless advocacy for equitable representation on-screen as founder and chair of the Geena Davis Institute. You can visit Geena Davis at GeenaDavisInstitute.org or follow her on Instagram @GeenaDavisOrg.
