Titch

A little boy with only little things — a little pinwheel, a little tricycle — watches his big brother and sister zoom past on bigger, faster toys, until he plants a tiny seed of his own.

For the youngest kid in the family who's always handed the smaller version of everything, Titch is the quiet reminder that little things can still win the day.

• Big idea: Being smallest doesn't mean having less to offer — good things can grow from the smallest starting point.
• Vibes: Gentle, plain-spoken, and quietly satisfying, with a slow build that pays off.

• are working on feeling capable next to bigger siblings
• enjoy simple, repetitive story patterns
• like to notice small details in the pictures
• respond well to stories that build toward a satisfying payoff

• Feelings & empathy: How do you think Titch felt when Pete and Mary's kites and bicycles were so much bigger than his?
• Real-life connection: Has anyone ever had something bigger or faster than yours? How did you feel?
• Story & problem-solving: What do you think Titch's little seed will grow into?
• Imagination: If you planted a seed like Titch's, what would you want it to grow into?
• Noticing details: What little things did Titch have that were just his size?
