I Love Being Tall A story of the unconditional love that connects us forever

"I Love Being Tall" is a heartwarming story about unconditional love. Filled with easy-to-read storytelling and colorful illustrations, this book shares an adventure between a young boy and his grandfather. Inspired by a real experience that the author had with his grandson, this is a wonderful story about family and the love that connects us forever.

When his grandson was four years old, author Bruce Soll carried him on his shoulders as they went home from a day playing in the snow. Funny thing, he got stuck up there. When Bruce told him that he would have to stay there forever, his grandson said that he didn't mind because he loved being tall! They then imagined all of the fun things they could do with grandma now that he was the tallest one in the family. This is a perfect story for children who are learning to read and who enjoy spending the afternoon on someone's shoulders. Filled with meaningful lessons about the importance of family, "I Love Being Tall" is a must-read work of children's literature.
