Bigfoot and Friends (Board Book): Believe in Yourself! by Stephens, Wendy

Bigfoot and his cryptid friends encourage the littlest creatures to love who they are and believe in themselves in this darling and empowering board book.

Even the most mysterious of creatures need a reminder to have confidence in themselves. Bigfoot is a cryptid, but some people don't believe in these spooky creatures! He turns to his friends, Mothman, El Chupacabra, Kraken, Werewolf, Loch Ness Monster, Fresno Nightcrawler, Thunderbird, Wampus Cat, Yeti, and Jackalope, for support.

Complete with sweet pastel illustrations of each friend, Bigfoot discovers it's okay to have big feet, enjoy napping, and play with other cryptids. Parents and little readers will delight in practicing self-confidence with this unique and inspiring group of friends.
