I Don’t Want to Be Small

Description

One little kid can’t stand being short, until he finds a new friend and learns that each of us has something to offer, regardless of size!

No! It’s not fair.
I don’t want to be small.
I want to grow faster
so I can be tall!

Being shorter than your friends, your brother, and so many other people can be tough. It’s hard to see in a crowd, you can’t always ride the fun rides, and sometimes even the clothing you want to wear is too big! But worst of all, being small means that it’s impossible to get your teddy bear down when it gets stuck in a tree. What’s a short kid to do? It’s only when a taller friend comes along and offers to help that he realizes there’s no such thing as one size fits all–and just how wonderful that is.

In this bright and playful rhyming picture book filled with vibrant, cheerful illustrations, readers learn that being short, tall, or anything in between can be plenty of fun.Laura Ellen Anderson (lauraellenanderson.co.uk) studied illustration at University College Falmouth.
