I wonder....is there anyone in McCleary/Elma that the local kids refer to as "the big friendly giant" ??? Did Lindsey recently read/see/hear this book... in school/her house/KK's house?

One night when Sophie can't fall asleep during the
"witching hour", she sees a giant blowing something into the bedroom windows down the street. The giant notices her;
although she tries to hide in her bed,
he reaches through the window and carries her away to his home in giant country....
I was wondering about this big friendly Giant. Thinking Giant may have many meanings. So decided to google some links of the meaning of giant.
