Peter & Angie Mayhew once again tell a story for kids in “My Favorite Giant.” This time the authors are teaching children that even though many of us are different we are all the same in that we are all people. Peter talks to a little girl named Katie and tells her about himself and she gets to ask him questions about his life, how people have been mean to him and why, he gives her a history of how people who were tall, small and disabled were mistreated and later jumps to Chewbacca in “Star Wars,” and how it changed his life. He also shows how Kenny Baker who was R2D2 and he have a lot in common. “My Favorite Giant” has many positive lessons for all of us to learn to be more tolerant of anyone who is different. “My Favorite Giant” and “Growing up Giant” in their new editions have a much flashier look to them that adds to the enjoyment of both by two wonderful authors of children’s books.
