| Everything Got Bigger by Sally Patton-Hall "What could I possibly have to give?" and "How can I hear from God?" These are two age-old questions for which the young and the young-at-heart alike seek answers. Breanna, a typically inquisitive little girl, asks questions galore, brought about by Nana’s gift. During her summer visits at grandmother’s, even the daily mundane chores become fun. Through the wisdom and encouragement of a loving grandmother and with their shared interests, such as bird watching, especially grandmother’s favorite--- hummingbirds, they have many opportunities for hours of pretend and giggles. As Breanna watches her grandmother give to a neighbor in need, Breanna feels a little nudge to give something also. As she responds to that nudge, her view of everything gets larger. It seems a small question can trigger the largest revelation. This is a fun story for young readers, or to be read to those too young to read, with rich imaginations and a love for watching the tiny creatures in the trees. |

Within each consequence is a lesson learned, and Midnight learns three important lessons: One - It’s good to think through something new before you try it. Two - It is very important to know your strengths, as well as your limitations. Three - It is wise to have someone you can go to, someone trustworthy when you find yourself stuck in a tree or in unfamiliar surroundings.
