A beautiful and powerful story about self-discovery and finding one’s
place in the world.
Familiarizing children with the concept of self-discovery can be a difficult lesson to teach
our littles ones. Great as a Button pursues this answer by taking the readers on a selfawareness
quest. Choosing a simple plastic button as the main adventurer of this book
is so engaging that children can easily identify with it. The story can be an excellent
gift for both adults and children who wish to better understand their purpose through
charming illustrations and an engaging storyline. Having won an international award for
“outstanding work that has shown superb creativity in engaging and inviting children to
read and explore”, the story stands out as one with an inspiring message.

"The love for chocolate and dogs is inseparable for Masoud, and it is probably the reason that he realized books are as delicious as chocolate! So far, Malekyari has written many children's books in Iran and his work Great As a Button received the Little Peeps Book Award for Early Readers and Children's Picture Books."

"Upon graduating in painting from Portugal's Fine Arts School of Porto University, Sebastiao Peixoto never thought of managing to publish his works in the media. Today, with over 20 children's titles to his credit, domestic and foreign outlets avidly seek his collaboration. His book Quando Eu For Grande or When I Grow Up was awarded by the Portuguese Authors Society in 2012.."
