(Walker Childrens, April 1, 2004)
Being a big giant and making a big mess can get you into big trouble! Big Hasuni lives on top of a big mountain with his very big pets, but he is lonely. One day, seeing smoke coming from a distant island, he travels down the mountain and through the ocean to investigate, only to discover an empty campsite very much like his own. There's a lot of trouble that a big giant can get into when no one is around! Set in the wide expanse of Eastern Africa, this wholly fresh and original tale demonstrates how a good laugh can be the beginning of a great friendship. Breathtaking illustrations with sprawling vistas capture the energy and humor of this original tale by a beloved author.
