A thought provoking, layered #YA novel by @torreybalsara.bsky.social, #TheGreatandtheSmall with captivating illustrations by the author. Two points of view: a human girl & young rat, each navigating buried trauma alongside external threats in their intersecting worlds. #kidlit #CanKitLit 📚👍🏻
the cover of The Great & The Small by A.T. Balsara shows the profile of a teen girl with flowing hair, in black and red and a yellow moon against a turquoise sky.
