PETE AND HIS GIGANTIC FEET
One day in the woods up north, a sound came through the trees. It woke up every animal, and startled all the bees.
Three-o-three… right on time, the daily visit came. But louder and a little sad; it wasn’t quite the same.
They hurried from their houses, from the holes and from the air, To see the precious boy they loved with rumpled yellow hair.
There he stood with tears and dirt. His clothes were all a mess. What on earth had happened here? They couldn’t even guess.

About the Book
Gigantic feet. New sandals. Bullies. Pete’s feet don’t stink, but being made fun of sure does. When the teasing at school becomes too much, Pete’s daily visit to the woods becomes more than just a fun detour. Empathetic friends encourage him back to the playground, but will his new plan to quiet the bullies actually work?
“In rhyming text for children, and with the help of clever animals, Carrie has managed to deliver a powerful message of God’s creative love for all of us.”
Dandi Daley Mackall, author of more than 450 books for children and adults
“Pete and His Gigantic Feet is not only a delight to read, it carries a strong message that children will identify with. It’s a message they will carry with them into the classroom and onto the playground.”
Sally E. Stuart, author Founder of Christian Writers Market Guide
“Carrie’s delightful, fun-to-read picture book--written with rhythm, rhyme and personality plus--deals with the serious theme of “hurtful teasing” in an honest, yet encouraging manner. Great fun, great theme, great characters! HOORAY for Pete and his Gigantic Feet!”
Christine Tangvald, author of 90 picture books for children
