Titch by Pat Hutchins

It’s not easy being the youngest of three, as Titch discovers. His big sister Mary and his even bigger brother Pete get to have the biggest and best of everything, while the small things are assigned to him. That is until one day he is given a seed that grows and grows. It proves that although something starts small, it can eventually grow to be bigger and better than everything else. This is a lovely book for early readers, with limited text and simple illustrations reminiscent of its 1970s design.
