When You Were Small

by Sara O'leary

When You Were Small Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

When father puts young Henry to bed he always says "Dad, tell me about when I was small." His father complies, telling Henry how, when he was little, he used to be so tiny that he could take his pet ant out for a walk on a leash! What's more, he got his hair combed with a toothbrush and was such a little boy that he could even fit in his father's shirt pocket. Henry was so small that his father's original name for him, Hieronymous, wouldn't fit.

An enchanting, comic bedtime story that can make even the smallest child feel big, When You Were Small is the perfect book for children in a hurry to grow up.

Synopsis:

"Why do I have to go to bed?" wonders a young boy in "When You Were Small. His father wants him to go to bed, but he'd rather be out playing. This story addresses a common complaint heard by parents everywhere, offering a novel way to make bedtime a special part of each day. Trying to get his son to go to sleep, the father reminisces with him about when he was a child, showing him that bedtime can be something fun. Written by an award-winning playwright and illustrated with vivid images that bring the dreamlike story to life, "When You Were Small is the perfect book for children in a hurry to grow up and adults who want to remember what it was like to be young.
