He can’t find any large sail boats with treasure to loot. To make his dad proud, Leon trains to become a pirate. He learns to paint the white skull on a black flag, count coins, cook meals . . . Finally, his time comes! Nöstingler’s humorous tale masterfully touches on issues of self-esteem, freedom, and courage, and that special relationship between father and son. Even the most mundane things can be unique, especially for a little girl who wishes to be big. Daniela is bigger than her cousin, and bigger than her cat. But she is small for her age, and that bothers her deeply. One morning, she wakes up to discover that she has grown so big, her parents look like dolls. A fantastic tale where roles are reversed, this surprising story will delight young readers.
