Kiko is a little girl, quite little actually, and she dreams of growing bigger and bigger. Realizing, though, her size is out of her control, she becomes discouraged and focuses on the very, very small things in the world. With the help of her mother, will Kiko learn to love her size and appreciate how wonderful she is just as herself?
Little Speck is an encouraging and fun rhyming story for children of all ages who may struggle with small stature. Having a good sense of self-worth is a desirable end goal of a child's emotional development. When too much emphasis is placed on physical size and appearance, it may have a negative impact on the way children view themselves and others. In Japanese, the name Kiko means be happy. Little Speck is a reminder for children they are special regardless of their size and that is certainly a reason for them to be happy!
