Not everyone believes in the Giant. After all, he only comes out at night when everyone in the village is asleep. But those who believe see signs of him in the morning, such as benches stacked into a tower or roofs that have changed overnight. One child claims to have seen him using cars as roller skates No one is sure where the Giant goes during the day or who he really is. But they do know he'll be back again soon for more mischievous play

Award-winning artist Lorenzo Sangi 's atmospheric, softly colored illustrations evoke the quiet beauty of night. With themes of finding common ground and facing our fears, this sweet picture book shows readers that perhaps certain things are not so scary after all.
