Ollie is the shortest kid in his kindergarten class. His grandpa Max says Olllie looks just like Max’s brother Winthrop did when he was the shortest kid in class. In fact, it turns out that Olllie is connected to lots of people, and this book shows exactly how, from dimples and freckles to ears that wiggle and hair that sticks up. This book celebrates family in all its similarity and diversity, as adding both humor and clarity to the wonder of our family trees. >>> Other books by Rachel Isadora in SHI collection.

Ollieは幼稚園のクラスの中で一番背が低い。彼の祖父は、Ollieが祖父の兄弟と同じでWinthropもクラスで一番背が低かったと言った。それからOllieは次々と様々な親族と繋がっていった。例えば、えくぼやそばかす、耳を動かす人や髪の毛の立つ人などと共通点を通して。家系図への好奇心にユーモアと解りやすさを加えながら、家族・親族の共通性と多様性を祝福している絵本。＞＞＞SHEのコレクションにある同作者の作品。
