Alex is very small for his age and longs to be taller. He tries everything in order to grow! He eats lots of protein, exercises on his Dad's special stretching machine and goes to bed early every night. But it's Alex's very tall Uncle Danny who shows him how to be happy just the way he is. This hilarious story is illustrated with exuberant and funny pictures, yet has a strong message that it's good to be yourself.
