The Tallest of the Smalls by Max Lucado
The Tallest of Smalls is a book about a little boy who was desperate for the praise and adoration of the people around him. When he finally got it, he realized that being looked up to wasn’t as easy as it appeared. When he fell, there was no one to catch him, except Jesus who explained that the system needed to be turned upside down.
At first this book felt like a Dr. Seuss wanna-be. As I was reading this book to my son, I found myself tripping over phrases that didn’t feel well worded. My son, who is two and a half, on the other hand has been hooked since the first read. I think he’s made me or my husband read it at least five times in the last two days. He loves it! The more I read it, the more I like the book and the artwork is beautiful.
