Jamaal a la plus petite chambre de la maison et il n’est PAS content. Ses parents, et même ses petits frères, ont une chambre plus grande que la sienne. Jamaal trouve ça très injuste. Après tout, c’est lui le plus âgé de la famille! Lorsqu’il en parle à ses parents, ces derniers lui répondent simplement que la maison est organisée ainsi. Jamaal est perplexe. Une idée lui vient : il va prendre les choses en main et emprunter les outils de son père. Sera-t-il capable de trouver la solution?

Un nouveau récit tordant des Canadiens Robert Munsch et Dave Whamond qui plaira aux jeunes lecteurs comme aux plus âgés.

 

 

Jamaal has the smallest room in the whole house, and he is NOT happy about it. His parents have a bigger room than he does. Even his little brothers have a bigger room than he does, and Jamaal finds that just plain unfair — after all, he's the eldest sibling! When he confronts his parents about it, all he hears is that that's just how the house is organized. Jamaal is at a loss, until a brilliant idea comes to him: he'll borrow his father's tools and take matters into his own hands! Will Jamaal be able to build a solution?

A new, laugh-out-loud tale with heart from Canada's own Robert Munsch and Dave Whammond! This heartwarming picture book about life's little injustices will be relatable to many young (and even older) readers young and old.

Original title: Think Big!
