Enter the world of Shrinking Sam, where lack of attention from parents, family, and teachers makes Sam shrink so small that he falls down the drain. Luckily, he makes a friend in the pipes. A friendly girl who also fell into the plumbing because of her family ignoring her. Together they share their stories, listen to each other, and grow bigger until they find their way back to their homes and family's hugs. Where Sam discovers his family's love makes him grow bigger and bigger!
Thus Miriam Latimer's colorful illustrations and amusing story has an important message for kids, parents, and teachers. Love and attention are the most important elements for thriving children. A beautiful book and an excellent follow-up to The Prince's Bedtime.
An important reminder to pay attention to your friends and family - you don't want anyone you love to fall into the toilet. They could easily take a wrong turn in the plumbing and come out in the wash - like Shrinking Sam.
