Big Little looks at the world through a baby’s eyes, who makes comparisons between the objects around him.

This is one of those books that, as a writer and an artist (in a very loose sense of the word), I look at and kick myself.  It’s so adorable and innocent and endearing, that I wish I was the creator who could be sitting back right now saying, “Oh, the cleverness of me!”  Which is, I am sure what the author and illustrator, Leslie Patricelli, is saying right now.

   My son received that book for Christmas, along with another by Leslie titled “Yummy Yucky” Very age appropriate for almost 2-yea-olds – the pictures are sooo cute. He loves both books!

   A couple of days ago, we watched “Peter Pan” again. I finally get the “cleverness of me” reference. Now, everytime I look at your blog, I think, “Oh, the cleverness of Jamie!”
