Hewitt Anderson's Great Big Life

40 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | January, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-689-86866-9 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kadir Nelson. Hewitt's parents are giants and, though they love him, they are worried that their normal-size son will never gain giant stature. Hewitt uses his small size to rescue his parents from a locked room, and they finally accept Hewitt for who he is (and still love him). While big-hearted, the story is less commanding than Nelson's striking illustrations.
