Pesto Wants to Be Big

By Willa Prawer

Overview


In the middle of a teeny tiny town called Tinyville lives a petite mouse named Pesto. Pesto sleeps in an itty-bitty bed made out of an empty matchstick box, in a wee little home carved out of a carrot, located on a narrow street known as Mini Lane. One day, after a few reminders of his size, Pesto had had enough of feeling small. If he tries hard enough, will Pesto grow as big as the other mice?

Description


This story is about a mouse named Pesto, who is particularly small - far smaller than all the other mice. After a morning of absolute frustration with his size, Pesto decides to go on a journey to try and grow big. Even after many attempts, Pesto remains teeny and walks home defeated. That is when Pesto's mother reminds him that all mice are unique, and you are not defined by the way you look. Pesto then realises that being small also has many advantages, and learns to accept and love himself just as he is.
