Little People is a very readable and informative memoir by a man who's daughter was diagnosed with dwarfism shortly after she was born. The memoir recounts Kennedy's his experiences trying to give his daughter a good life, from both a social and medical perspective. The author is very open and honest about sharing his family's story.

I learned a lot from this book, which was borrowed from a colleague who is a little person. I greatly appreciated the insight this gave me into her world, but the writing tired me. For the last quarter of the book I kept thinking it was nearly over. It felt like things were wrapping up, but they didn't. It's a little sloppy towards the end.

An interesting look at one family's struggle with dwarfism, as well as a cultural review of dwarfism through history.
