A little one tells his father (the big one) that he wants to do something big but is unable to do so when he is so small.
His dad asks him whether by big he means as large as a mountain or as huge as an elephant.
They go for a walk by the ocean as the father just tries to be with the little one and his feelings of frustration. He even offers to do something little while the boy does something big.
This father and son intimacy is rewarded when the little one discovers a way to do a big thing.
Something Big by Sylvie Neeman was first published in Switzerland and has been translated from the French.
