Reach for this book when your child is frustrated by their physical limitations or feels left behind by older siblings. It addresses the universal childhood desire to skip ahead to adulthood and the realization that being little has its own special magic. In this vibrant tale set in Tanzania, young Oli makes a wish to become a giant after being told he is too small to go bird hunting. While his wish comes true, he soon discovers that being a 'big boy' brings unexpected challenges and that his mother's love is most comforting when he is exactly the size he is meant to be. It is a perfect choice for encouraging self-acceptance and calming the 'I want to be big now' blues for children ages 4 to 8.
