Description
This is our eighth book with Kris Di Giacomo, whose work has proven to be popular in the US, with several of his titles strong sellers, so the success of past titles should help bolster initial interest here.
A follow up to "My Dad Is Big And Strong, BUT...: A Bedtime Story," this is another fun, funny book of role reversal between a dad and his son. Right in time for Father's Day '16.
Take Away the A and Enormous Smallness put Kris on the map in a new way, with folks from the Walker to the Eric Carle Museum trying to pin down events with her. This book should be widely promoted to museums and the trade as the new book of an accomplished American illustrator whose life in France has given her an aesthetic all her own.

Reviews / Votes
"A tongue-in-cheek masterpiece echoing most parents' outings with small children." STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews"The responsibility role reversal is just as funny this time around as Di Giacomo gleefully reflects Dad's inexhaustible energy and his son's growing weariness in scraggly charcoal lines and washes of muted color." Publishers Weekly
"Invites self-reflection. [...] Musical prose." Edan Lepucki, The New York Times
"This book like the first has a gorgeous sense of humor throughout. [...] The illustrations use subtle color and a cartoon style to create their own unique feel." Waking brain cells
