Meet the Big Friendly Giant!

Sophie and the Giant's Secret

One night, a little girl named Sophie couldn't sleep and saw the BFG! Instead of being scared, she became his friend. The BFG took her on amazing adventures in his dream-catching net. He showed her how he catches dreams, which are like sparkly, wispy clouds. He even showed her his special trumpet that he uses to blow dreams into children's ears.

A Giant Story That Grew!

The story of the BFG wasn't always a whole book! It started as a small part of another story by a writer named Roald Dahl. He loved telling stories so much that he decided to make the BFG's tale even bigger. He wrote this special book for his daughter, Olivia, which makes it a very loving story.
