Olivia Bezzlebee lives by the sea in a fantastic town with the world's biggest bubblegum factory, where its citizens blow bubbles all day. But Olivia can't blow a single one and feels as if everyone looks down on her. Leaving Covington to find a place where she might belong, she learns the true meanings of family and home.  A Very Small Something, beautifully illustrated by Alexander Griggs-Burr, is a story to which all children--and any tuned-in parent--will be able to relate. Blowing bubbles may indeed be a very small something .but when you are a small child and it's the thing you most want to do, a bubble can mean the whole world.

He has tested his children's poems in schools across the country for the last seven years.He is finishing a PhD at the University of Western in London, Ontario.
