Small and Big are sisters. But Big can jump higher and run faster. Small is always stuck in Big’s shadow. So one day Small gets mad and does something very mean. Now she’s out of Big’s shadow, but she feels smaller than ever. Until Small discovers there are some things she can do that Big can’t. And that helping someone else—especially an older sister—can make even the smallest person feel very big. Brilliant illustrations with inventive perspectives and use of shadows mark this delightful marriage of text and art.
