Description
Seamus is short, and from where he is standing, the world appears to be made for tall people. Seamus would give anything to be taller! One day, while playing dress-up in his motherâ?Ts closet, he finds a way to reach new heights. With his motherâ?Ts high-heeled shoes on, Seamus can suddenly reach everything that was once too high: the top-floor elevator button, the chocolate milk in the fridge, the TV remote and that horrid picture of him as a baby. But when Seamus encounters problems that canâ?Tt be solved from a great height, he has to admit that sometimes being small just isnâ?Tt so bad. Acclaimed picture book author Heather Hartt-Sussman brings a light touch to this nuanced story about acceptance, resourcefulness and love, complemented by the humor and beauty in Milan PavloviÄ╪â?Ts colorful paintings of Seamusâ?Ts world â?" where there are times to be tall and times to be small.
