Educators , parents , whatever role you ' re in , please have that conversation with your children , about diversity and about difference , not just dwarfism but of all kinds of differences . Start that conversation early , because it matters , and it does have an impact on your child but also on the people your children will meet later on in their life .
Whilst my book does focus on dwarfism , everyone can relate to being the new girl , everyone can relate to sometimes feeling like they don ' t fit in , and everyone can relate to seeing someone , in class , at work , on the street etc ., who looks different . Kindness and the message of accepting one another is something that everyone should value , even if you yourself is not directly impacted by dwarfism or disability .
You can surround yourself with the best people , the most loving support , but if you don ' t accept yourself , then truthfully you ' re not going to feel accepted where you are . The best advice I can give is to embrace it . Embrace you .
