Giant Tess by Dan Yaccarino

Cool retro style art, catchy mythology twists on Manhattan place names (Lower Beast Side and Grand Cyclops Station were faves), and a cute story about accepting traits that others may not always see the beauty in or of.

The middles of the story progresses really fast making it feel like a few things were left out, but a good message about friendship

I’m convinced that Giant Tess is the human equivalent of Clifford the Big Red Dog.
