Once There Were Giants

by Dale Penny (Author), Waddell Martin (Author)

Synopsis

A gentle tale of growing up from the perspective of a small child. Once there was a baby in the house - and to that baby, Mum and Dad and Jill and John and Uncle Tom were giants. But little by little, that baby grew up - until she became a giant too! Martin Waddell says of the book, Small children live in a world designed for big people. I wrote this story to help them understand it, and the idea of growing older.
