What is Something big about?

Ben is proud of the best picture he has ever made, but a sudden mishap spoils it. Determined to put things right, he accepts his sister Beccy’s challenge to create the longest picture in the world. With a roll of wallpaper and plenty of imagination, Ben sets to work. His drawing grows and grows, stretching beyond the table and through the house. What begins as an attempt to make up for his mistake becomes an exciting, funny adventure in creativity.
