In this adorable picture book, inquisitive little Henry wants to know where he came from. His parents come up with very imaginative answers to his question, telling him he was delivered in the mail, found in the sale bin at the supermarket, spotted in the window of a pet store, and more. Children love envisioning the imaginative answers, from being delivered by fairies or found in a basket that was floating down the river to being dropped from the sky by a spaceship. Julie Morstad's beautiful illustrations accompany each hilarious scenario.

When father puts young Henry to bed he always says 'Dad, tell me about when I was small.' His father complies, telling Henry how, when he was little, he used to be so tiny that he could take his pet ant out for a walk on a leash! What's more, he got his hair combed with a toothbrush and was such a little boy that he could even fit in his father's shirt pocket. Henry was so small that his father's original name for him, Hieronymous, wouldn't fit.

An enchanting, comic bedtime story that can make even the smallest child feel big, When You Were Small is the perfect book for children in a hurry to grow up.
