A fantastical story of a doll in a forgotten doll house this book explores themes of contentment and adventure and how to balance them in your life. I loved the fairy tale type illustrations as well.

Wow! What a book! The illustrations were great, but even greater was the story, surprising, very good an unique I love it. If you want a different story from the immense lot of picture book, then I would recommend you this one!

Gemma and the Giant Girl by Sara O'Leary is a beautifully imagined and illustrated story about a young girl whose small and contained life suddenly gets much bigger than she could have ever believed possible. Here is a charming tale of leaving your comfort zone, and finding yourself by reimagining a longheld worldview.

Gemma lives in a tiny house with her mother and father. Life is safe and comfortable, but Gemma begins to wonder if she will ever experience life outside of her own perfectly ordered home. Everything changes when a giant appears, and Gemma's sheltered life will be turned on its head, expanding her life experience in ways she had never dared to dream.

This is an altogether wonderful book that will likely become a favourite of children and adults alike.
