A young boy just wants his small life to be bigger. His toy car is too small, his feet are too small, his stool doesn't have enough steps, and he can't reach anything beyond the sink faucet. But as he is sitting on his bed one night reading his favorite book with his father, he suddenly realizes there is something really terrific about being small--something that tall people don't have! Together, popular author Francine Poppo Rich (PeeWee Pipes And The Wing Thing & Why Can't I Spray Today?) and talented illustrator Tom P. DiFilippi have created a soothing bedtime story that will give young children much to appreciate about being small, as they wind down for a night's sleep with a favorite blanket.
