Book Description
For kids starting to think about their place in the world, here’s a unique look at point of view. Being small — or big — is not always what we think it is! We all know which things are big, and which are small, right? But do we really? Or do things look different, depending on who’s doing the looking? For example, to a human, an orangutan is small like a child. But to a flea, it’s gigantic! Here’s a quirky and original introduction to the idea of perspective and the importance of recognizing that each of us has our own way of seeing things. Kids who feel too small — or too big — in the world will be happy to learn: Size is in the eye of the beholder!

If You See Me, Don't Say Hi

Author: Neel Patel

ISBN: 1250183200
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 207

Book Description
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice and an NPR Best Book of the Year In eleven sharp, surprising stories, Neel Patel gives voice to our most deeply held stereotypes and then slowly undermines them. His characters, almost all of who are first-generation Indian Americans, subvert our expectations that they will sit quietly by. We meet two brothers caught in an elaborate web of envy and loathing; a young gay man who becomes involved with an older man whose secret he could never guess; three women who almost gleefully throw off the pleasant agreeability society asks of them; and, in the final pair of linked stories, a young couple struggling against the devastating force of community gossip. If You See Me, Don't Say Hi examines the collisions of old world and new world, small town and big city, traditional beliefs (like arranged marriage) and modern rituals (like Facebook stalking). Ranging across the country, Patel’s stories -- empathetic, provocative, twisting, and wryly funny -- introduce a bold new literary voice, one that feels more timely than ever.
