The Smallest Giant by Sonny Evans is a book that will immediately seize the interest of readers. Filled with whimsical illustrations, it will transport you into a whole new world where giants have schools and where humans are the ones to be feared. The main character, Midge, will also capture your heart with her courage and determination. Being the smallest giant, what would she do to prove her worth?

This book is full of warmth, humor and wonder. The narration written in words that rhyme even adds to that touch of magic and awe. Children will have no trouble in recalling it long after it is read.

Further, it is full of wisdom taught in an inspiring and delightful way. It teaches the value of working hard to achieve your goal. It leaves a lesson about not giving up. It imparts the value of friendship, even among those who seem to be different from each other.

The triumph of this book is in being able to reveal much within the short span of time that it is read. In a way, it reminds me of Midge, the smallest giant who achieved the biggest success of all.
