It is the story of an explosive encounter between a man (who or what is he?) and a boy. The boy is at first deeply bewildered – the man is so tiny, just seven inches tall (\"I am not tiny! I am the size I am\"), so demanding, and so utterly infuriating! But as the days go by, much begins to emerge about both the man and the boy. The conversation takes on a deeper meaning, and the reader, almost an eavesdropper, is drawn into the dialogue to share the emotions – sometimes painfully, sometimes hilariously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wonderfully funny, touching, and provocative book breaks new ground in its treatment of the relationship between word and image. It is a book that persuaded you not only to look at the page but also to look inside yourself.
