A moving, funny, remarkable book about what to do when a giant comes and eats up your city … including your mother!
It’s an ordinary day. Victor’s mother is running out the door to go to work and Victor is enjoying his milky hot chocolate when, suddenly, there is a terrible screech and a horrible shaking. When he looks out the window, Victor sees an enormous sleeping giant lying atop the city! He’s eaten all the trees, buildings, cars, and people—even Victor’s mother!
Can Victor find a way to save the city and get his mother back? And how can he make sure the giant goes back to sleep?
From acclaimed creator, Rafael Yockteng comes an empowering story of bravery and overcoming challenges no matter what.

“An original, engaging, and entertaining picture book from cover to cover, and one that is a truly 'kid empowering' tale of bravery and of overcoming any and all challenges no matter what. While especially and unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 4-8.”
—Midwest Book Review
“Victor is an unforgettable protagonist, small but unshaken, practical, and compassionate … readers will also recognize the quiet bravery it takes to speak truth to power, even when that power has nose hairs the size of tree trunks … A playful story about courage, empathy, and the power of one small voice.”
