The Giants and the Smalls: The Adventure of Rimi and Ritt

This book is about how to grow your thinking. It is about learning to see yourself playing bigger in the world. Each of us have this desire inside us to play a much bigger game in life, but often people dont know where to start. In this wonderful story, it teaches us tiny steps that we can take to go from being smalls and playing small in the world to becoming giants and living our ideal life. It teaches us that simply by beginning to dream and think giant thoughts we begin to see our world differently, new opportunities arise and if we show up and work on those opportunities we too can become giants and live a life of joy and abundance.

Great message that everyone can gain from. I would recommend this to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic book for kids... and adults! I expect to see a Giant Movie someday.

This is a book that anyone can pick up and take away the lesson. It is presented in a way that if makes you think and feel empowered. Just a great book. Be a Giant!

This book is problematic for many reasons. First it pits two groups of people against each other. One group is better than the other. It’s the kind of divisiveness that we just don’t want to teach our children. Second, it’s rife with notions of victim-blaming and gas-lighting. It promotes the idea that if a group of people, (the Smalls, a literary reference to their minority group status) has less material wealth than another group (the Giants, a literary reference to their dominant group status), that they must have done something wrong, and that it’s all in their heads. It’s suggested at the end that the minority group must literally become (assimilate) one if the dominant group in order to overcome their poverty. It’s bad on every level.

I had heard about this book from friends and was excited to see for myself how good it really is. It arrived quicker than I expected. I love how it reads like a fairytale for kids, as well as adults, to enjoy with a message that is so uplifting and inspiring. I will absolutely keep extras on hand for gift giving!

Pivotal reading for Children of all ages (even adults)! Beautiful illustrations, well-written and powerful life lessons lie between the pages of this book. You will want to gift to everyone you know and encourage them to explore the backstory of this incredible author and his important message. By gifting this treasure to someone you love you can change their trajectory on life’s path. Enjoy the journey!

Regardless of your circumstances, YOU were born to be a GIANT. Regardless of where you are on that journey or how far away it may seem, there are other Giants, including everyone of the Family of Giants, that love and support your journey, your unique contribution, and YOU! “If it’s to be, it’s up to me and my committed action”! LOVE this book!

I really dont know what to say about this book... Get it! Get it, read it, share it and buy a copy for someone you know.

This is an excellent parable about any kind of success that one might pursue. It not only has helped me but my nine year old daughter immediately took it to heart. Any time she is experiencing difficult emotions I ask her what a giant would do and it usually motivates her to change her attitude. Then I praise her for acting like a giant. Its become a massively effective shorthand for us.
