In this terrific, lyrical text from a talented newcomer, a little girl named Anna has unusual playmates; a family of giants who visit only on certain days. "When the sun shines just so and the wind blows like this and that on its way to somewhere else." The unusual way the giants play familiar childhood games (they use beachballs for marbles and literally play "dolls" with Anna's sister), gives Kevin Hawkes, winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and often on the Caldecott shortlist, great opportunities to play with scale and is the perfect platform for his quintessential "larger-than-life" characters. Kevin is the illustrator of numerous best-selling books, such as "Weslandia" (Candlewick) and "Timothy Tunny Swallowed a Bunny" (Laura Geringer).

Magical Picture Book

Format:Hardcover
I love this author! The story of Anna's adventures with the giants are brought to life with Kevin Hawkes illustrations. We've worn out our first copy already, it's a picture book that brings out the imagination and lights up the kids.
