NO! I do NOT want to be so small!

I wish I'd keep growing so I can be tall.

This little boy is fed up with being so little. He wants to be as tall as his friends and his big brother. But when he loses his teddy bear up a tree, not even his new tall friend can get it back for him. Maybe with a little bit of help they can reach the bear together…

A fun and inspiring tale about learning to love who we are, no matter what size. A perfect picture book for little people who don't want to be so little! From the brilliant Laura Ellen Anderson – the author/illustrator of the brilliantly fun I Don't Want Curly Hair and the bestselling Amelia Fang series.
