Synopsis

Eight-year-old Tina is tall, too tall, she thinks.  She's even taller than her older sister!  If people didn't always comment on her height or her shoe size, maybe she wouldn't feel so awkward.  Her parents try to encourage her by pointing out why being tall is a good thing, but Tina just wants to be like everybody else.

One day after school, a neighborhood friend invites Tina to join his kickball team.  But what if she's a terrible player?  What if her long legs and big feet get in the way?  Does she dare try?

Why Do I Have To Be So Tall? is an inspiring tale about learning to value yourself as you are and recognize that everyone is special, including you, and you will never know if you are good at something until you try it.
