The two things Bintin wants most in the world are to play on a football team and to be adopted by a loving family. But everywhere Bintin goes, people stare and point at her because she looks different. Bintin was born with dwarfism and some people are unkind to differences. Encouraged by her foster mother, Bintin longs for a forever home while practising her football shots. Is she too small to dream big?

“A heart-warming tale of inclusivity and rewarded resilience that gently but firmly interrogates pre-conceived notions and the concept of the impossible.” – Mamle Wolo, author, The Kaya Girl

“The Other Side of Small is at once heart-warming as it is inspiring. It tells the enlightening story of Bintin as she navigates her world in a humorous, engaging and emotional way. A must read by children who are labelled different and find themselves standing on the sidelines as others have all the fun. It is a clarion call to the underdog and those left behind that they can be anything and anyone they want to be.” – Jude Idada, author, Boom Boom

“A positive and sensitive story touching on a much-overlooked struggle, brought to life by beautifully vivid illustrations.” – Victoria Inegbedion, author, A-Files series
