<strong>BIG</strong><br />
Hero # 1<br />
Big<br />
Gentle<br />
Dreamer<br />
Graceful<br />
Occasionally indecisive<br />
Annoyingly tidy<br />
Easily distracted<br />
Big is quite mellow. He takes things as<br />
they come. And he’s full of projects that he<br />
never finishes. But that’s ok. Big didn’t<br />
really know what lay beyond his home,<br />
his garden and his pond until Small<br />
came into his life.<br />
<strong>SMALL</strong><br />
Hero # 2<br />
Small<br />
Loud<br />
Exuberant<br />
Always in a hurry<br />
Acts first, thinks later<br />
Melodramatic<br />
Boastful<br />
Small enjoys being small.<br />
It suits his personality. Life is a huge,<br />
grand adventure to him. Small used to<br />
travel quite a bit, but now he’s found<br />
Big and his new home.<br />

SynopSIS<br />
‘Big & Small’ follows the adventures<br />
of two pals who are very different but<br />
the best of friends. Big lived happily<br />
alone in his cosy house in the country<br />
– but when Small arrives he realises<br />
that he’s been missing someone to<br />
share his life. Even one who turns his<br />
world upside down! Whereas Big is<br />
a dreamer – considerate, thoughtful<br />
and fair, Small is fast, loud, exuberant<br />
and dramatic.<br />
Their difference in size means they<br />
have different perspectives on the<br />
world. Big is entirely comfortable in his<br />
house and garden, although he loves<br />
to look up at the stars and is always<br />
inventing fabulous machines, whereas<br />
for Small the world is a never-ending<br />
adventure – racing in his toy car,<br />
exploring a mouse hole or tickling<br />
frogs! Their special friendship is<br />
defined by their differences – but it’s<br />
strong, genuine and includes lots<br />
of kindness, tolerance and laugher.<br />
