The narrative follows Shanu, a young girl who is repeatedly told by her family members that she is either too big or too small for various tasks: too big to be lifted, too small to walk to school alone, too big to sleep in the baby's cot, and too small to carry the baby to the park. Shanu becomes confused, unable to reconcile these conflicting statements about her size. The text highlights instances where her size is a perceived limitation for certain actions, such as wearing her old pink frock or making dosas at the stove, and her inability to perform tasks like climbing on Dadu's back or carrying the baby. The story culminates with Shanu wondering about her appropriate size, and her Ammi reassuring her that she is the \"right size\" to begin attending big school. The illustrations depict whimsical scenes reflecting Shanu's confusion and the contrasting perspectives of her family.","Too Big, Too Small Lavanya Karthik  \nLavanya Karthik  \n”I can’t lift you up, Shanu!” says Ammi.”You are too big!”  \n”You can’t walk to school alone, Shanu!” says Abbu.  \n”You are too small!”  \n”You can’t sleep in the baby’s cot, Shanu!” says Dadu.  \n”You are too big!”  \n”You can’t carry the baby to the park, Shanu!”says Dadi.  \n”You are too small!”  \nShanu is puzzled. Too big! Too small! How can she be too big and too small all at once?  \nToo big to wear her old pink frock. Too small to make dosas at the stove .  \nToo big to climb up on Dadu’s back? Too small to carry the baby on hers?  \n”What am I the right size for?” Shanu wonders.  \nAmmi smiles and says,”Why, you are just big enough to go to big
