Minikin

Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration about being the smallest in class or feels like they are physically lagging behind their peers. It is an ideal choice for the child who constantly compares their height or abilities to others, feeling a sense of inadequacy because they cannot yet do what the 'big kids' do. The story follows Minikin, a tiny lamb who tries everything from stretching to eating extra clover just to grow faster. Through his journey, children learn that every person grows at their own pace and that being small often comes with unique strengths that others might overlook. It is a gentle, comforting read for children aged 4 to 8 that validates their impatience while celebrating their current self.
