<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When normal-sized Hewitt is born into the Anderson family--a family of giants--the Andersons' lives are turned upside-down. It's up to Hewitt to show all the generations of the Andersons the power of being small. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Young Hewitt Anderson is sweet, smart, polite--and very, very small. This warmly humorous tale is "proof that, when it comes to heart, physical size isn't the whole story" (<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>).</b> <p/>Descended from a long line of giants, the J. Carver Worthington Andersons take their height very seriously indeed. You see, without exception all of the many J. Carver Worthington Andersons have been giants until now. And poor Hewitt--hidden in the floorboards, trapped in the flour vat, lost in the bedsheets--has his struggles being tiny. Oh, his parents worry: How will their son manage to live in a world of big things? Leave it to Hewitt to prove the power of being small. <p/>Inspired by the tale of "Jack and the Beanstalk," the inimitable Jerdine Nolen tells an original story of bravery and the power of the individual. Kadir Nelson's imaginative and loving illustrations create a world where smallness rules--a world that children will want to return to again and again.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jerdine Nolen is the beloved author of many award-winning books, including <i>Big Jabe</i>; <i>Thunder Rose</i>, a Coretta Scott King Illlustrator Honor Book; and <i>Hewitt Anderson's Great Big Life</i>, a Bank Street Best Book of the Year, all illustrated by Kadir Nelson.
