I owe an incredible gratitude to my client and friend Steve Harvey, thank you for all your support and help in bringing my message to the would. Without your support, Tiny and Full wouldn’t be the world-wide phenomena that it is today.
A big thank you to the amazing BenBella Books team: Adrienne Lang, Sarah Dombrowsky, Leah Wilson, Heather Butterfield, Monica Lowry, Jennifer Canzoneri, Rachel Phares, Alicia Kania—and, most especially, to Glenn Yeffeth, for supporting my vision of this project and helping me share it with the world. Thank you for all of your hard work and support, it means so much. Thank you to the Perseus team as well for helping get this book out: David Steinberger, Elena Chmilowski, Jessie Borkan, Andrea Gochnauer, Sabrina McCarthy, Heidi Sachner, Kim Highland, and Maha Khalil.
A very special thank you to my husband Sam Cruise. Your support with this project has been incredible. Your insights are invaluable, thank you for all that you did to help me bring this book to life. And to my two sons, Parker and Owen, thank you for being such fun, loving boys. I love watching you grow up and I love being your dad.
