Roland is "not impressed" with his tiny wrapped Christmas present. He wishes for bigger and bigger gifts, finally setting off in a rocket ship in search of one large enough. But soon Earth is just a faraway dot, and Roland realizes he misses "that tiny speck--the smallest gift." Nimble digital illustrations propel this tale of appreciating the small things in life.
