Customer Reviews

One of the best!

This is one of our family's favorite picture books of all time. The theme of the importance of every person,even the seemingly insignificant, is powerful and well-done. As a homeschooling mom, we have used this book for a literature-based study of farm life, family life, pioneer families, seasons, Bible stories, spiritual gifts, and much more. Very sweet and meaningful story that the whole family loves to read over and over again.

Inspiration From a Precious Little One

This beautiful story with its wonderful illustrations sends a powerful message for both children and adults that anything is possible and sometimes the greatest lessons come from very small sources. This book is a a great gift for any teacher, parent or child.

A story loved by young children

I read Least of All to my first graders every year and find many of them requesting it again and again as my own daughter did when she was little. The message that the youngest and smallest person in the family can contribute something invaluable seems to resonate in the hearts of youngsters. The charming illustrations are also captivating. This is one of my family's and students' favorite books.
