Many children want to know their birth stories and ask questions like: 1. How big was I when I was born? 2. Can I see a picture of me after I was born? These questions can be difficult to answer when your baby was born prematurely. I was Small, But Now I'm Tall is an engaging book for a child who was born prematurely, telling the tale of their earliest days in life in simple terms that kids can relate to. It tells the story of a baby that was born much too early and spent many months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This premature baby, like many others, overcame the obstacles that threatened her survival and grew into a strong child.
