The Littlest Yak
by Lu Fraser
Illustrated by Kate Hindley

Oh my, this is such an adorable book! The art just made me smile without reading a word! Cheerful little faces, colorful and fun! The smallest yak was so cute! Great snowy mountain scenes.

The story was about a small yak that just stayed small no matter what she did and she wasn't happy about it. But one day she could do something the big yaks couldn't and saved the day! The small yak then understood that she didn't have to be big to be great!

Such a fun and encouraging book for kids. Teaches them self esteem and you're special just the way you are!
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read this book. ( )

So many kids want to grow up too fast. And parents just want them to stay small. Gertie is just such a kid, or a yak. They are the smallest of small and want to be big. That is until they find out that sometimes being small is just perfect, especially when you can do tall things. This book was lovely. The cadence was spot on. It was so good it was a bit tongue twisty. Kids are going to love it and it is perfect for storytime. ( )

Tener poco tamaño dentro de una familia tan grande y fuerte puede ser un verdadero quebradero de cabeza. ¡Aunque te repitan que has de tener paciencia para crecer! Sin embargo, las situaciones más complicadas a veces guardan una tremenda sorpresa. ¿Quién ha dicho que una yak pequeña no puede convertirse en una gran heroína?

El álbum cuenta con texto rimado para facilitar la memorización y la ilustración de sus personajes –expresiva, colorista y amable– favorece la empatía de los pequeños mientras descubren un nuevo hábitat: el frío desierto de Nepal.

What a wonderful story! Written in the tradition of Dr Seuss and with fantastic colorful illustrations by Kate Hindley, this rhyming story is for everyone. It just goes to show that being small can be just the PERFECT size.
