Rebecca Reads: Giant Tess

Rebecca Reads: Giant Tess

Tess has a BIG problem.

She’s a giant with an enormous wish to be like everyone else in the city of Myth-hattan. When she gives up on ever fitting in, she meets a friend just her size, and the two team up for a daring rescue. Can these misfits save the day—and the big city parade?

This reassuring and heartwarming tale will empower young readers struggling to find acceptance, and it reminds us that there’s a hero within every one of us.

Rebecca Reads is a children's storytime series devoted to helping children learn about the world through books. As a nanny, Rebecca realized that the majority of children's books feature a male character, even when the characters are animals. This series is specifically geared toward presenting children with a diverse group of female characters with the goal of empowering young girls, promoting creativity and imagination. As an actor with extensive babysitting experience, Rebecca brings her excitement and silliness to each video, ending with a goodbye song and demonstrating that reading can be fun. A great free resource for nannies, guardians, and parents.
