Have you ever wanted to tell a child...You matter way more than you know?? If so, The Tallest of Smalls is the perfect way to tell them.
In the beginning a little boy, named Ollie, living in the land of Stiltsville wants nothing more than to have stilts like most of the others. He tries all his might and pleads daily to get his own pair of stilts, but is turned down. Then one day, he is chosen, but stilts aren't everything that they seemed to be the day before; Ollie realizes that it's hard to walk on stilts and that the birds liked to perch on him. He soon fell to the ground only to see Jesus standing next to him, on the ground, without stilts. Jesus says to Ollie "Keep your feet on the ground, refuse to be stilted; choose low over high; leave the system tip tilted".
It's a story about how it may always look greener on the other side, but remember who you are and be happy with what you have; after all Jesus love you no matter who you are!
Thanks Thomas Nelson Publishing and Max Lucado for a great book!
