I Am Small
Combining watercolor and ink, this sweet, exquisite story deals with self-esteem and acceptance — no matter what size you might be.
Mimi doesn’t think being short — actually, the shortest — is a laughing matter. All she can see is the downside. At home, at school, around the neighborhood, people try to point out the advantages of her height. But no one really gets it.
Come to think of it, however, there are some perks to awaiting a growth spurt!
