This story is about a clumsy young girl who aspires to be a ballerina and to get on pointe. She works hard at her ballet studies, and when she gets very close to her goal and finally gets the toe shoes she dreams of, her feet quickly grow too big to fit them. How she copes with this setback is the heart of the story. Big Foot is bilingual, English and Spanish, so a child can read either language and can learn words and sentences in another language, especially with the delightful drawings that make the meaning clear. Written by an emeritus professor of education with illustrations by Phoebe Mallory, currently a senior in high school, the poignant story can help a young reader think about what is really important in attaining goals. It is written for children between 7 and 12 years of age. The print is large, so young readers can read independently. When we are young, we dream of becoming a professional ball player, ballet dancer, astronomer, or a rock musician. We want to get the lead in the school play, be captain of the school football team, or get elected class president. Few get to reach these dreams. Sometimes it is because of lack of effort or that others are better at what we aspire to and get chosen. Often it is through no fault of our own: no matter how hard we try, our bodies are too short, our coordination is not good enough, our math skills are weak, our singing voice is not evocative. When young persons face these kinds of setbacks, they might become depressed or give up, change goals, or settle for a related role, becoming the ball person or costume maker. The girl in this story finds another alternative, being altruistic.

Español Esta historia trata sobre una joven torpe que aspira a ser bailarina y ponerse de punta. Trabaja duro en sus estudios de ballet, y cuando se acerca mucho a su objetivo y finalmente consigue los zapatos con los que sueña, sus pies se vuelven demasiado grandes para ponerse a ellos. Cómo se entrente con este revés es el corazón de la historia. Big Foot es bilingüe, inglés y español, por lo que un niño puede leer cualquier idioma y puede aprender palabras y oraciones en otro idioma, especialmente con los dibujos encantadores que aclaran el significado. Escrito por un profesor emérito de educación con ilustraciones de Phoebe Mallory, actualmente en su último año de secundaria, la conmovedora historia puede ayudar a un lector joven a pensar en lo que es realmente importante para alcanzar los objetivos. Está escrito para niños entre 7 y 12 años de edad. La impresión es grande, por lo que los lectores jóvenes pueden leer de forma independiente. Cuando somos jóvenes, soñamos con convertirnos en peloteros profesionales, bailarines de ballet, astrónomos o músicos de rock. Queremos ser lÃderes en el juego escolar, ser el capitán del equipo de fútbol de la escuela o ser elegidos presidente de la clase. Pocos llegan a alcanzar estos sueños. Algunas veces es por falta de esfuerzo o porque otros son mejores en lo que aspiramos y son elegidos. A menudo no es por culpa nuestra: no importa cuánto lo intentemos, nuestros cuerpos son demasiado cortos, nuestra coordinación no es lo suficientemente buena, nuestras habilidades matemáticas son débiles, nuestra voz para cantar no es evocadora. Cuando los jóvenes se enfrentan a estos tipos de contratiempos, pueden deprimirse o darse por vencidos, cambiar los objetivos o conformarse con un papel relacionado, convirtiéndose en una recopelota o el fabricante de vestuario. La chica de esta historia encuentra otra alternativa, ser altruista.
