Cute story!

Every time someone ignores Sam he shrinks. He becomes so small he goes down the bath tub drain. While in the drain, he meets a girl named Izzy. Izzy shrinks everytime her family ignores her, too. As they tell each other their problems they begin grow. When Sam returns home his baby sister says his name and throws him a kiss. This show of effection makes Sam happy, so he grows bigger. Then his mom and dad give him a hug and he grows even bigger! This is a story that I think any child feeling ignored will relate to.The illustrations are beautiful!
