Illustrated by
Giselle Potter.
Adapted from Hegi's adult novel Stones from the River, this is a fablelike tale of a young dwarf who tries everything to grow, until she meets an adult dwarf--a circus lion-tamer--who teaches her self-acceptance. Potter's gouache illustrations are whimsical but respectful of the mostly serious story, which nevertheless doesn't seem to find itself at home in the picture book format.
