Mee-key is bored and sad. Mama-mo is having a busy day, and his older brother can go everywhere and do anything. Why does it take so long for a small monkey to grow bigger?

However, Mee-key decides that being little has some advantages when his older brother can no longer fit on their mother's lap during a thunderstorm.

"Sometimes I like to be little, and sometimes I want to be big," he concludes. "Little and big are both good. But when it storms, I'm happy to be little."

The author is a mother of two grown daughters and a retired teacher with two degrees in elementary education.
