Big and small depend on what you compare

An outdoor moment becomes a way to explore how size is relative: a boy feels small beside the world around him, then notices that his dog, cat, and a tiny ant are smaller still. Nina Crews’s picture book brings this idea into a child’s everyday surroundings, connecting comparisons between objects with themes of growing up and feeling seen. Its examples also open up simple opportunities to observe, compare, and categorize what is nearby, making size and shape concepts part of a shared conversation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children exploring size, shape, and comparison concepts
  • Families and educators looking for a book to share and discuss
  • Emerging readers interested in observing the world around them

What makes you big? What makes you small? From acclaimed author-illustrator Nina Crews comes a board book that introduces young children to the concepts of size and comparisons. A great choice for emerging readers, school classrooms, and story-time sharing.

Time to play outside! It's easy for a young boy to feel small in a world that is made up of big, big things. But when he takes a closer look, he discovers that he is big, too. His dog is smaller than he is, and his cat is smaller than his dog. And the teeny-tiny ant crawling through the grass? Even smaller!

I'm Not Small will spark family and classroom conversations about the concepts of size and size comparisons, about growing up, about feeling seen, and about observing the world around you. Playful text and bright, detailed illustrations also make it easy to learn about comparing and categorizing objects. A must-have for fans of Anna Kang and Christopher Weyant's You Are (Not) Small.
