Short People

This book is a lovely bookshelf book for the rellies and friends of people with dwarfism in the family. Its easy reading for the siblings/cousins/neighbors children, etc., and gives them a simple explanation of the problems short people need to overcome, but also gives shows the determination of people with any kind of handicap, to overcome and never feel less than their fellowman.

An inspiration!!

This is definitely a book you want to have in your home if you have children of any ages. And definitely a must for every classroom. The book addresses the everyday issues faced by short statured people, through the eyes of a very unique, intelligent and well rounded young man. A young man, like countless other short statured people in the world, that have not let their height hold them back. This dynamic young man obviously has a shining future ahead of himself. Hopefully this book, and Joshua's message will open people eyes, and educate them. I have 4 children, and they love this book, becuase Joshua is our friend and we love him, and we have seen him face his challenges throughout his life, and triumph!. When you read this uplifting book, you will understand why
