If We Were Giants by Clete Barrett Smith, Dave Matthews

5.0

As a homeschool mom to a special needs boy, I'm always on the lookout for something that captures his attention. If We Were Giants certainly did that. This book not only held his attention, but he actually wanted to keep reading long past his required daily reading time. Not many books have done that, and since I was reading with him, I completely understood why. This story is absolutely captivating, and it reminds us of the importance of community and taking care of our planet. It's a story of bravery in the face of adversity, of standing up for what's right and putting yourself out there even when it's hard. And it's all done brilliantly by Dave Matthews and Clete Barrett Smith. After finishing the book, I can honestly say that even if I didn't have a child to share it with, I'd have still thoroughly enjoyed the story, and I would recommend it to readers of any age.
