Success is Measured by Character, Not Height
Forty years ago, readers met an energetic eight-year-old girl named Jaime in Susan Kuklin's beloved book Thinking Big. Diagnosed with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism, Jaime faced a world that was often built for people much taller than she was. Yet even as a child, she was determined to live life with courage, confidence, and hope.
Now, in Still Thinking Big, Jaime Osborn completes the story.
Written in her own voice, this inspiring memoir follows her remarkable journey through adolescence, college, graduate school, a successful teaching career, international travel, medical challenges, and a lifetime of proving that short stature does not limit a person's dreams or potential. Along the way, she shares the joys, disappointments, friendships, surgeries, triumphs, and lessons that shaped the woman she has become.
More than a memoir, Still Thinking Big is a practical guide for parents, educators, medical professionals, and anyone whose life has been touched by dwarfism. At the end of every chapter, Jaime offers thoughtful insights and practical advice drawn from decades of personal experience, encouraging others to replace fear with hope and limitations with possibilities.
Today, Jaime is an award-winning Master Teacher whose life stands as powerful evidence that success is measured not by height, but by character, perseverance, and purpose.
Whether you are the parent of a newly diagnosed child, a healthcare professional seeking a patient's perspective, an educator striving to make every classroom more inclusive, or simply someone who enjoys stories of courage and determination, Still
Thinking Big will encourage, educate, and inspire.
Sometimes the biggest lives come in the smallest packages.
