Mimi doesn’t think being short – actually, the shortest – is a laughing matter. All she can see is the downside: at home, at school, around the neighbourhood… People try to point out the advantages of her height. But no one really gets it. Although, come to think of it, there are some perks to awaiting a growth spurt!

Reviews

A wonderful book, for its delicate illustrations, which are between ink and watercolour. I particularly like the illustrations done by Mimi, a child with short hair and baggy pants. It is the sort of representation of a little girl we rarely see in children’s books. - Stéphanie Pelletier, Les p’tits mots-dits
Exquisite and sweet! - Catherine Trudeau, Plus on est de fous, plus on lit (radio broadcast on Radio-Canada)
