Little One
Book By Barbro Lindgren
Adapted by Chris McGregor
A lonely little old man forges a much-valued friendship with a dog, but when the dog makes friends with a little girl, the little old man worries that the dog will forget him.
Little One is based on the Barbro Lindgren's Story of the Little Old Man (Sagan om den lilla farbrorn). A touching story that explores learning how to make and share friends, feelings of being left out and discovering group dynamics. Packed full of emotion, this adaptation by Chris McGregor teaches young children about self-esteem and empathy.

“They loved the beautiful costumes and how the creatures were represented.”
“They loved that it was filmed outdoors. They loved the beautiful costumes and how the creatures were represented. As they spoke about the story, many of them began to use the Indigenous language names for the creatures as introduced in the performance.”

“The shadow puppetry was something that we continued into our own studies...lots of fun with them!”
“They loved it. Sqeweqs and his worms is very funny, Sasq’ets big feet were stunning, the forest fires were frightening...lots of questions if this was really happening during the film shoot. They loved seeing the drone shots flying over the Fraser Valley. The shadow puppetry was something that we continued into our own studies...lots of fun with them!”
