"Big or small, apartment or house, they're all home.
Come inside one boy's high-rise apartment complex, where his backyard is the space between his neighboring apartment buildings, and his basketball net is tucked into a bedroom. His parents sometimes complain their home is too small, but the boy's balcony view of the city and the extended play space of the hallways are a few ways that make the boy's house feel just the right size.
Our Big Little Place is a charming child's-eye-view tribute to the power of imaginative play and the diversity of the living spaces we call home."
Praise for Our Big Little Place :
"Our Big Little Place is a great exploration of what home and community are in the eyes of a small child growing up in a big city."

There is nothing Aswen wants more than to be a great basketball player. It's his favorite sport! But no matter how hard he tries, he can never seem to score a point. His basketball keeps missing the net. It frustrates him very much! Aswen begins to think he should give up. Why continue playing if he isn't any good?
Aswen's family will teach him that hard work and perseverance are all that's needed to succeed. You can be great at anything if you practice!
