Learn language and meet colorful characters in this imaginative world of giants illustrated by award-winning filmmaker Obom!
Award-winning filmmaker Obom presents her first children’s book: an oversized wordbook inspired by fairy tales.
It features six funny-looking and unique giants living in as many wonderful worlds, including the city, the forest, the mountain, the lake, the sea, and the prairie.
When it is open flat on the floor, toddlers can almost immerse themselves into this giant board book and its colorful landscapes.
