"A child is a small person", with small hands, small feet and small ears, but not for that reason with small ideas.

From the interweaving of crystal-clear words and poetic images comes a funny, moving and stunning book: a gallery of child-sized portraits that will appeal to kids and grown-ups alike. "What is a child?" is a book to be read together, to help children answer the question "Who am I?", and to help adults understand what children are.
