About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling frustrated by the limitations of being small or is constantly comparing themselves to older siblings and peers. It is a vibrant, absurdist remedy for the 'I'm not big enough' blues, following a miniature unicorn who feels like a speck in a world of giants until a clumsy encounter with a gnome's car changes his outlook. Through comical situations and neon-bright art, the story explores how size is entirely relative. It is perfect for preschoolers and early elementary students who are navigating the transition to 'big kid' status but still feel overshadowed. This book helps normalize feelings of inadequacy while using humor to show that there is always someone smaller, and someone larger, than you.
