Bookroo's summary

Life's challenges loom large when you're small. Racing with little legs, reaching with tiny hands, and speaking with a quiet voice can be frustrating. Yet, sometimes being little is perfect. Discover the charm and wisdom in embracing your size through delightful adventures and heartwarming lessons. Will being bigger really solve everything, or is there magic in being just the right size?

From the publisher

This playful book captures just how tough life can be when you’re little. With little legs, it’s hard to win races. With little hands, you can’t open the cookie jar. And when you have a little mouth, nobody listens to you. Sometimes it seems like all your problems would be solved if you were just a little bigger. But sometimes, little is exactly the right size. Featuring delightful artwork and a relatable message, Jonathan Bentley’s book will resonate with readers both big and little.
