Ultimately, / it's the smallest Who of all whose voice helps create a sound / that is big enough to be heard, proving once and for all the / theme of the story: "A person's a person, no matter how small." / Nello Williams / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / For decorative use only. Not for children under 8. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux enfants de moins de 8 ans. / handcrafted - dated 2008
