From the publisher

“Completely relatable for all viewers, big or small.”–The Horn Book (starred review)”Crews captures the joy of early childhood exploration in a book that adults and children can both enjoy.”–ALA Booklist (starred review)”A nice addition to story hours about relativity, size comparisons, and schoolyard science lessons.”–School Library JournalA Chicago Public Library Best of the Best BookA Horn Book Fanfare BookWhat makes you big? What makes you small? From acclaimed author-illustrator Nina Crews comes a picture book that introduces young children to the concepts of size and comparisons. A great choice for emerging readers, school classrooms, and story-time sharing.Time to play outside! It’s easy for a young boy to feel small in a world that is made up of big, big things. But when he takes a closer look, he discovers that he is big, too. His dog is smaller than he is, and his cat is smaller than his dog. And the teeny-tiny ant crawling through the grass? Even smaller!I’m Not Small will spark family and classroom conversations about the concepts of size and size comparisons, about growing up, about feeling seen, and about observing the world around you. Playful text and bright, detailed illustrations also make it easy to learn about comparing and categorizing objects. A must-have for fans of Anna Kang and Christopher Weyant’s You Are (Not) Small.
