Mo'S Little Giant

Join Mo as he patrols a new neighborhood and gradually befriends a little Giant who lives there! Her big Giants call her "Emma," but that's a mouthful for Mo's rough tongue, so he names her "Ma"-a much easier sound for a cat to pronounce. Though he's been a free roamer since his kittenhood, and is not a fan of Giants in general, Mo sticks around when he observes Ma in need of his expert feline assistance. Meanwhile, Emma takes note of the lingering stray and assumes he seeks her human help... After tasting Ma's gift of canned food, salt-watery delicious and distinct from anything he can catch for himself, Mo realizes there may be some mutual benefits to living alongside Giants. Mustering his lion courage and panther patience, Mo allows Ma to touch him with her wiggly paw sticks (which she calls her "fingers"). Discovering her talent for scratching his hard-to-reach spots, Mo finally understands a Giant's purrrpose! Mo's amusing point-of-view invites young readers to practice perspective-taking, imagining what coexistence might look like through another species' eyes. At the back of the book, children and parents will be delighted to discover fun Cat Facts, promoting further learning about their feline friends. Also at the book's end, a free coloring page rewards readers with creative participation in Mo's ongoing story. Written by Dorie Deats and illustrated by Joanna Pasek, Mo's Little Giant combines playful storytelling with beautiful full-page watercolors, bursting with tenderness.
