Dot may be small but she is not little! Thank you to Penguin Random House Canada for the gifted copy of Not Little by Maya Myers with pictures by Hyewon Yum. This funny and utterly charming story about Dot captures just how big personalities can be even in the smallest of packages. Dot is the smallest in her family, smallest in her class, and is always treated like she is little because of her size. But she does not hesitate to correct others and she will make sure others know that she may be small, but she is definitely not little. When a new boy arrives at school, Dot finds that she may no longer be the smallest. As she wonders over this new development, she notices that the new boy has attracted the attention of a big kid at school. Dot is about to show this bully and the others around that she is not little.
Such a fun and charming picture book that really resonated with me as I was the smallest kid in my class growing up as well. Dot was definitely more spunky and fierce than myself at that age and I think that this story will resonate and connect with many kids who are small but not little.
