The Littlest Bigfoot is a heartwarming middle‑grade fantasy about belonging, friendship, and self‑acceptance. Twelve‑year‑old Alice Mayfair has never fit in—ignored by her family and bullied at school—until a chance encounter with Millie Maximus, a very small Bigfoot (“Yare”) living in secret in the woods, changes everything. As their friendship grows, they must navigate prejudice, secrecy, and danger from a group of Bigfoot hunters while protecting Millie’s hidden world. This charming tale of two outcasts finding courage, empathy, and a place to belong blends humor, adventure, and meaningful themes of identity and acceptance.
