Too Tall Alice
Book Description.
Too Tall Alice is an award-winning children’s book that helps young readers embrace what makes them different, and realize they’re just right. Alice is four inches taller than the other girls in class, and that small difference feels huge. One night, after overhearing the grown-ups talk about “what tall girls can be,” Alice dreams her way into a new understanding of herself.
With playful illustrations by Dom Rodi and a message of quiet confidence, Too Tall Alice speaks to any child who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit in. Whether tall, small, silly, shy, or anything in between, readers will see themselves in Alice’s journey of self-acceptance.
This is a joyful, meaningful read for classrooms, bedtime, or anyone raising self-assured kids in a comparison-heavy world. Too Tall Alice reminds us all that being different isn’t something to hide, it’s something to celebrate.
