From "A Very Small Something"
Somewhere past the wrinkled maps, and under
another sun, where favourite earrings find new ears
and missing marbles run, the hillsides made
their marvelous shapes for a town called Covington--
And a great pink factory as long as the breeze
weighed truckfuls and truckfuls of bubblegum.
Olivia Bezzlebee lives by the sea in a fantastic town with the
world's biggest bubblegum factory, where its citizens blow bubbles
all day. But Olivia can't blow a single one and feels as if
everyone looks down on her. Leaving Covington to find a place where
she might belong, she learns the true meanings of family and
home.
"A Very Small Something," beautifully illustrated by Alexander
Griggs-Burr, is a story to which all children--and any tuned-in
parent--will be able to relate. Blowing bubbles may indeed be a
very small something . . . but when you are a small child and it's
the thing you most want to do, a bubble can mean the whole
world.
