Book Description:
Fourteen-year-old Josh was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. In this photo-essay, Josh talks about his life, describing the challenges he faces along with his plans for the future. Like many "little people," Josh has trouble breathing at night so he wears a mask that blows pressurized air into his lungs. He also has to have his clothes altered and he needs help sometimes due to his height. But Josh most likes to emphasize the things that make him like his friends: he plays sports, rides a bike, and is a leader at his school. He believes that everyone faces challenges of some kind. He's taught his friends that "the more comfortable you are with yourself, the more comfortable the world will be with you."
