Summary: This book tells the story about Small who is in a big bad mood. Small asks a lot of questions about love, and his mother reassures him that her love is unconditional and will never run out. She will love him no matter what: if he is grim and grumpy, if he is a grizzly bear or a crocodile… Small asks his mother: “But what about when we’re dead and gone, would you love me then, does love go on?” Large says “Small, look at all the stars – how they shine and glow, but some of those stars died a long time ago.” 

Suitable for students in years: 3-5
