From the publisher

Poor Sam! He wants to play with the big kids. “You are too small,” they tell him. “Go home.” But when the big kids need help, who saves the day? Sam, of course! New readers will relate to being excluded by older kids, and they’ll cheer for Sam when he shows that he can help, even though he’s not big. Watercolor illustrations with pen-and-ink highlight the subtle emotions in this charming book. An I Like to Read(R) book. Guided Reading Level E.
