Description

Who is the real giant in this wordless retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk?

Perspective is everything in this visual exploration of what big and small can mean. Olive, the little girl climbing the beanstalk, is small in comparison to the giant who lives in the clouds. Once back on earth, however, she discovers she's a giant in her own way.

Reviews

"Dramatic illustrations use sharp black lines and gentle shading; in a playful nod to the titular character, olive is the only color."--Foreword Reviews

"Along with giving budding critical skills a workout by inviting comparisons with the original, this inspired take on 'Jack and the Beanstalk' is sure to plant seeds of thought about how 'big' and 'little' are relative notions. A heady spin, rich in thought-provoking themes and fee-fi-fo-fun tweaks."--Kirkus Reviews
