A mysterious and enormous black dog has suddenly appeared just outside the Hope family home. As each frightened member of the household spots the creature, they panic and immediately run to hide. With every gasp of fear from her parents and older siblings, the black dog seems to grow larger, wilder, and more terrifying. Soon, it is towering over the entire house like a giant monster. But Small, the youngest member of the Hope family, is not afraid. Instead of hiding, she bravely steps outside into the freezing snowy forest to face the massive creature herself. As she leads the dog on a playful chase through the trees, singing and showing absolutely no fear, something magical happens. The giant dog begins to shrink, growing smaller and smaller until it is just the right size for a warm hug. This clever and beautifully painted tale explores the way fear can distort how we view the world, showing you that courage comes in all sizes.
