(4) K-3 Angelino, a small giant, is the same size as Osvaldo, a big dwarf. They become friends after leaving their respective villages, where they were ostracized for looking different. When a war breaks out between the giants and the dwarfs, the friends find a surprisingly simple way to bring about peace. The gentle illustrations full of muted secondary hues take the edge off the too-allegorical plot.
