5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic role model for children with dwarfism 14 Jan 2012

By Shrewsbury Biscuit

Ellie's story is inspirational for any young person, and this is written in a very clear style in her own words. In it she explains the hard work that goes into balancing her swimming career with her schoolwork and her positivity shines through. The photos are also excellent and hold a young reader's attention.

I have a child with dwarfism and am always on the look out for positive role models. There are very few books about dwarfism out there for children, and this is very welcome addition both to our home and also his new school.
