K-Gr 3— Julia the Giant is a young girl who lives in the magical land of the giants. She is always smiling, willing to help others, and loves to bake chocolate and cinnamon cake. Her imagination is as big as she is, but it gets her into trouble. At home, while she is watching her little brother, she becomes so distracted pretending she is a pirate, he gets hurt. At school, she is writing on the board and doesn't even realize she is painting the walls. She doesn't seem to get anything right. Although she is big in size and in heart, she begins to feel as small as an ant. Julia decides to run away to the land of the humans, where she meets Bruno, a boy wizard, who shows her that the labels we give ourselves do more harm than good. This thoughtful text will remind readers that they are all important just as they are, no matter what their inner voices may say. Castro's fairy talelike art will charm readers. VERDICT Children will appreciate the journey Julia the Giant makes and the lessons she learns along the way.— Melanie Ortega
