Here is a sneak preview from Does This Book Make My Brain Look Big?
Simile Self-Portrait
by Makayla (age 10)
My eyes are as big as a grape and like the
color of a milk chocolate chip.
My nose is as speckled as paint splattered
across the canvas and as round as a plump oval.
My smile is as big as the moon and as bright
as two suns.
My muscles are as quick as a race horse and
as strong as a strong baby monkey.
