Not Little

<b>Just because you're really small doesn't mean you can't have a big heart. When the diminutive Dot stands up to a bully on behalf of an even smaller friend she proves how big she can truly be.</b> <p/>Dot is the smallest person in her family and at school; even her name is small! People often mistake her for being younger than she is but not when she tells them the square root of sixty-four is eight nor when she orders from the grown-up menu at restaurants or checks out the hard books at the library. She may be small but she's not little. <p/>When a new boy named Sam joins Dot's class she wonders if he's even smaller than she is. When she sees him getting bullied by a mean kid twice his size she knows she has to do the big thing and stand up for him. <p/>Maya Myers's debut picture book has a pitch-perfect voice that captures the inimitable Dot in all her fierceness and Hyewon Yum's delightful pastel-hued artwork is its perfect complement. <p/><b>A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection</b><br><b>An ALSC Notable Children's Book</b>
