Reach for this book when your child is feeling overwhelmed by 'big' emotions or feels small in a world of grown-up expectations. Through three whimsical stories, David L. Harrison uses the figure of the giant to externalize common childhood struggles: fear of the unknown, the weight of keeping secrets, and the explosive nature of a bad mood. While the characters are physically massive, their hearts and worries are perfectly scaled to a child's experience. It is an ideal choice for the preschool and early elementary years, offering a safe, mythological space to discuss why we sometimes act out and how even the most 'powerful' people feel vulnerable. Parents will appreciate how the stories pivot from classic folklore tropes to gentle emotional resolutions without being overly didactic.
