Ryan McHiggins, age 2.5. Ryan is a kind but cowardly toddler who has a lot of insecurities. He has struggles with learning how to read and the occasional potty accident (which is why he still wears diapers), but he is also shorter than most toddlers his age. Although his friends don't tease him for his height, he is picked on by Butch Ironhammer, a four-and-a-half-year-old bully. One night, Ryan has a dream where he becomes a giant. Will his new size be a good thing or a bad thing?
