About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with their place in the world or feeling frustrated by the 'big' rules set by adults. It is a perfect choice for the student who enjoys questioning how things work and why people act the way they do. This specific Candlewick edition makes Jonathan Swift's classic satire accessible for middle-grade readers, focusing on Lemuel Gulliver's first two voyages. As Gulliver travels from the land of tiny Lilliputians to the kingdom of giant Brobdingnagians, the story explores themes of perspective, justice, and resilience. It encourages children to see the world through a different lens, helping them realize that 'small' and 'large' are relative terms. Parents will appreciate the way it builds a sophisticated vocabulary while opening doors to conversations about fairness and how we treat those who are different from us.
