Features: Being a little kid is already bad enough, but a series of misfortunes keep happening—she gets mocked during PE class, teased by boys in class, and even her close friend moves to a different school. Just when Beldi is feeling down, a little boy named Hobba becomes her new classmate. From that day on, a series of strange and funny things begin to happen—Beldi’s dreaded cross-country run is suddenly canceled; the best-selling novel she’s reading suddenly becomes a blank book; her weak math problems are guided by a “invisible immortal”; even her annoyingly short stature starts growing crazily. Through the amusing stories of a little short girl and her photographer father, along with the “magical house” they create, this book depicts a series of funny and entertaining events that happen to children of short stature today. Rooted in real-life school and family life, the story is infused with a strong touch of fantasy, helping children overcome their sensitivity and lack of confidence while showing them how they grow and transform under the love and nurturing of sunshine and rain. In this sense, this book might be considered China’s version of Love.
