IThis book is about a 4 year old girl whose father goes goes off to fight in World War II. While he is gone, Janie's cousin teaches her a lesson about perception and how things appear small the farther away that they are. When Janie's father comes home 2 years later, she echoes this lesson in his ear when he iis holding his daughter and comments on how big she has gotten. She says she was small when he was far away, and now that he is close, she seems big. This is a heartwarming and touching book, and what I especially loved were the beautiful watercolor illustrations that reflect the setting and time period of the story. I highly recommend recommend this story for children of many ages.
