Gemma and the Giant Girl by Sara O'Leary

adventurous emotional reflective medium-paced

4.0

This book is a great starting point for discussing the big world with your kids and the value of knowing where you came from.
While reading this book, I was immediately reminded of Giants in the Sky from Into the Woods: “And you think of all the things you've seen, And you wish that you could live in between.” 
This also has the tone of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. 
Clearly, I find this theme inviting.   

Such a sweet story with incredible illustrations. 
A benefit of pictures books is discovering new artists. The work of the illustrator, Marie Lafrance, is gorgeous and adds to the wonderful experience of the story. 

I definitely recommend this book for the art as well as the story!
