Description
Summary:Grandma's house isn't that big, but there's plenty of room for a tiny world ... When a young boy visits his grandmother's house, he doesn't just see scraps of ribbon lying around, mushrooms clustered behind a log in the forest, or lonely pools hiding along the beach. He sees tiny worlds, where pie tins become playgrounds, ants become farmers, and ponds and puddles teem with life waiting to be found. Tiny worlds are full of whimsy and imagination, but there is one problem: he seems to be the only one who sees them. While at first Grandma keeps trying to draw him out, eventually she realizes that even tiny worlds are big enough to share. Brittany Cicchese's touching story and warm illustrations celebrate the connection between a child and grandparent and encourage readers to appreciate the extraordinary tiny worlds all around us."--Page 2 of cover.

Author Notes:Brittany Cicchese is an artist and writer with many years of experience working in public libraries. She illustrated Emily Jenkins's The Kitten Story: A Mostly True Tale and Meg Medina's No More Señora Mimí. Of this book, the first she has written, she says, "As a child, I often retreated to imaginary worlds when I felt overwhelmed, finding comfort in creating stories and building detailed playscapes. My fascination with tiny, secret worlds grew over time, and I loved seeing familiar, everyday objects in a completely new light . . . it was its own type of magic." Apart from creating, she enjoys connecting people with stories, exploring the Rocky Mountains, and browsing every new picture book at her local library. Brittany Cicchese lives with her family in Denver.
