Big feelings deserve a big hero.
Bob's oversized head is a metaphor for physical and mental differences. The character was built to show kids that what makes you stand out can also be your greatest strength.
Big Head Bob uses humor, storytelling, and cartoons to help our youth navigate big feelings and make social-emotional learning actually fun. From books and animated videos to live school visits and original music, BHB meets kids exactly where they are.
Growing up, David Bradley doodled a goofy cartoon character with an oversized head. That sketch stayed tucked away for years until the birth of his nephew Joaquin sparked something new: what if this character could help kids feel less alone?
With family by his side, David self-published the first Big Head Bob book and shared it on social media. When COVID-19 brought the world to a standstill in 2020, his message of turning weakness into strength resonated more than ever. What started as a passion project grew into a global movement.
Today BHB has an official NASA collaboration, a YouTube Silver Play Button, 1,000+ classroom visits, and a fan community that spans the globe. David draws, creates, and believes every kid deserves to see themselves as the hero of their own story.
