Are You Small?

Are You Small? is a story about how things compare in size with other things. For a young reader, they may feel that they are small, especially compared with grownups, but then the narrator explains how there are smaller things, like the book you’re reading! And even though things are small(er), there are BIG things about them (i.e., a big deal, a big friend, necessary for the whole part, etc.).

I enjoyed learning the size comparison of the things mentioned in the book (there is something that is 5 NONILLION times smaller than the average kid)! I learned about lots of science terms (atoms, electrons, quark, etc.) that I didn’t know before, and feel smarter knowing now.

This book is appropriate for readers in elementary school and above to understand and enjoy. I learned that I might be small compared to some people/things, but there are plenty of things that I am bigger than, and big/small isn’t as black and white as it seems.
