A fast-paced Pacific adventure of rugby league dreams, ancient giants, identity and belonging.
Antony Amosa, also known as ‘Ant’, feels small, unseen and unsure of where he belongs. But when a family trip to Sāmoa pulls him from his modern-day world of school and rugby league dreams into a giant adventure of Pacific myths and legends, he must discover what it truly means to be big.
Inspired by stories from author Dahlia Malaeulu’s village of Fagaloa, Sāmoa, and her youngest son, The Little Giant brings Pacific storytelling, culture and guardianship into a contemporary adventure filled with humour, heart and self-discovery. Through themes of identity, family, courage and belonging, The Little Giant explores what it means to find your place, step up when it matters and realise that being ‘big’ isn’t always about size.
Perfect for readers aged 10–14+, classroom literacy programmes, libraries and retailers, The Little Giant is an engaging Pacific adventure for tamaiti ready to discover the giant within.
