| Publisher Description: Children are eager to grow bigger, and JoJo is no exception. He always asks his mother the same question: "How much did I grow today?" No matter how often his mother assures him that good things come in small packages, he is desperate to be bigger. After all, he wants to run in a race to win a pair of red Rocket Racer shoes. But how can he compete against bullies who are much bigger than he is? A delightful surprise ending illustrates how true growth is not always measured in inches. Jane Barclay's heartwarming story explores a theme that speaks to every child. Esperan a Melo's wonderful art complements the text to create a charming book that's bound to become a favorite. |
