So round, so shiny, so black--he must show all of his friends! So starts the journey of The Giant as he runs to share his happiness with everyone and the sorrow and joy that grows from his jubilation. \u003cbr\u003eLeo Daly, the son of iconic South African illustrator and writer Niki Daly, re-imagines the universal tale of loss, grief, and the joy of new beginnings. A simple but empathetic story borne from the pain and loss of a miscarriage, this big-hearted, humorous story of a tall Giant in love with a little Olive examines our loves, passions, and the destruction of loss. A breath of fresh air that unflinchingly tackles our greatest fear. \u003cbr\u003eLike \u003cem\u003eWhere the Wild Things Are\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eFrog and Toad, A Lost Button\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Giant and the Olive\u003c\/em\u003e tackles our fears and triumphs with humor and grace.
