Children are eager to grow bigger, and JoJo is no exception. He always
asks his mother the same question: "How much did I grow today?" No
matter how often his mother assures him that good things come in small
packages, he is desperate to be bigger. After all, he wants to run in a
race to win a pair of red Rocket Racer shoes. But how can he compete
against bullies who are much bigger than he is? A delightful surprise
ending illustrates how true growth is not always measured in inches.
Jane Barclay's heartwarming story explores a theme that speaks to every
child. Esperança Melo's wonderful art complements the text to create a
charming book that's bound to become a favorite.
