A little preview
On a ridge of cloud and stone lived a giant named Brom who loved tiny things: soft socks, thimble teapots, and his most prized object, a teeny-tiny cup he used for afternoon clover tea. One morning Brom reached down and found the cup chipped into two silver crescents. He frowned, fearful his small rituals were over. Alex called hello from the safe path below, so Brom sat beside the ridge and lowered his open palm like a broad porch. Together, at ground level, they studied the broken cup.
