About the Book

When Bindabinda’s teacher tells her she’s too big for her boots, she worries about what it might mean. The last time she wore shoes was two years ago. When all the kids in her class start to tease her about having a body too big for her feet, Bindabinda takes things into her own hands and decides to stop eating. This is a true story based on the personal experiences of May O’Brien and her memories of the misunderstandings that occurred when attempting to learn English as a second language.
