How to Make Friends with a Giant

Jake is the shortest kid in his class. And new kid Jacomo is the tallest. When Jake meets Jacomo at the bus stop he can’t believe they’ll be classmates — Jacomo is so tall. Taller than tall. A GIANT.

When the other kids tease him, little Jake comes to his defense. He knows fitting into their first grade class isn’t going to be easy for someone as big as Jacomo, but pretty soon the two of them find that when they work together, they have a team that’s just the right size.

Full of silly size-related predicaments and school situations every child will relate to, this is a funny and uplifting friendship story by Gennifer Choldenko, the Newbery Honor-winning author of Al Capone Does My Shirts, illustrated with a wild sense of humor by Amy Walrod.
