The Little, Big Rescue: A Children's Book Celebrating the Power of Friendship, the Kindness of Others, and the Beauty Found by Embracing DiversityA stunningly illustrated children's book celebrating the power of acceptance, the compassion of others and respecting differences.
This inspiring story will teach readers aged 5+ the real value of empathy, compassion and self-acceptance. That no matter how big or small you may be, great things can happen when you believe in yourself.
Brenda is the biggest and most beautiful blue whale in the ocean. All the other sea creatures long to be her friend - including Rimmy, a lonely little sand crab. Rimmy and Brenda are complete opposites - where Brenda is strong and graceful, Rimmy is small and square-shaped with clumsy, oversized claws. But appearances can be deceiving... And when Brenda finds herself in real trouble, she soon discovers that sometimes the smallest friends can have the biggest hearts.
Perfect for fans of the much-loved Aesop's fable, The Lion and the Mouse, this moral story offers both parents and teachers the chance to compare and contrast the two tales, as well as opening up opportunities for discussion around:
Appearance - let's model how we should celebrate diversity
The Little, Big Rescue inspires readers to accept their own unique differences as well as those of others, and models the ways in which we can be kind to each other. Rimmy, the adorable big-clawed crab will win over the hearts of readers big and small, encouraging children to understand that good friends come in all shapes and sizes.
Self-appreciation- celebrating differences
The story promotes body positivity and works to build self-acceptance in young readers. It teaches that all of us can make a difference, regardless of reputation, appearance or size - everyone is able to make a significant impact in someone else's life.
Environmental awareness
In the Little, Big Rescue, children come across a colorful cast of amazing sea creatures. Brenda the whale is caught up in a discarded fishing net - an all-too-common occurrence in today's world. The book can act as a wonderful tool to spark further conversation about the environment, encouraging children to have a positive impact on the world around them.
