Why Do I Have To Be So Tall

By Karen L. Nourse

Tina doesn't want to be different. She wishes she was short like her older sister and her mom, but she's tall like her dad-which is fine for him, but embarrassing for her. She even has big feet for an eight-year old and gets self-conscious every time someone remarks about her shoe size. If only she could be like everybody else. Her parents try to help her feel better by telling her all of the reasons being tall is good, but Tina still thinks being short is better. When a neighbor invites her to play kickball, Tina hesitates. She'd love to make new friends, but with her awkward body, she doubts she'll be any good. But if she can overcome her insecurity and try something new, perhaps she'll discover she's great just as she is-long legs, big feet, and all. "Why Do I Have to Be So Tall?" is a delightful story that helps kids learn the invaluable lesson that what makes you different also makes you special, and you'll never know if you'll be good at something until you try it.
