A beautifully illustrated and endearing story about sibling rivalry. Small is fed up of living in her older sister Big's shadow until one day Small finds she has a hidden talent that Big doesn't and as a result saves the day! Small realises that she doesn't have to live in anyone's shadow! A fantastic story that explores different emotions such as jealousy, rivalry and guilt and how we can overcome them and feel better!
