Little Ah-Fu has a big imagination, but he can't imagine being the Oxherd Boy... yet.

When the day comes for Ah-Fu to bring the huge family ox home from the woods, he worries that he's not big enough to do the job. Will fear and self-doubt drive Ah-Fu home empty-handed? Or can he rely on his wits and compassion to become the Oxherd Boy his family expects—and prove to himself that he is, indeed, big enough?

Delightfully paired with exquisite illustrations, this empowering story inspired by traditional Chinese philosophy shows kids big and small how to trust themselves and embrace what they can be.
