A mother tells their small child all the things they are bigger than, like bumblebees and frogs, nests, starfish, and butterflies. But, they are smaller than bears, icebergs, a whale, and love. 

Absolutely gorgeous illustrations that a reader can lose themselves in. The purple, blue, and yellow solar system illustration was my favorite. I love the message, and I also loved the rhythmic text - written in stanzas, but doesn't rhyme. A perfect bedtime story - quiet and calm and about love. The illustration of the child on the cover indicates that he may be white.
