Nothing Wee About Me is a magical tale of one girl's power of imagination and self-confidence. The story follows the main character, Liesel as she visits her Grandma Rose. She takes her grandmother's ladle and goes on an adventure, this adventure leads her to an island that is inhabited by pirates. On this island, there is an active volcano and Liesel is determined to save the day. So she does just that, but it is only a temporary fix.
However, there are multiple of obstacles that get in her way such as a dragon that is guarding a castle. All throughout this little book, Liesel is called a "wee girl" and questioned by everyone. Liesel is confident in herself and what her capabilities are. Her use of a ladle is a bit of a symbolism towards reclaiming the stereotype against women. But Grandma Rose's dismissive attitude towards Liesel's confidence suggests that Liesel's choice isn't that radical.
The text doesn't really tell the story but it rather shows it with soft, sketchy illustrations that support the text with visual information. There are only three human characters while the rest of the characters are animals. Nothing Wee About Me! is a fun and easy read that makes for a great picture book about championing girl power.
