Brenda Dubrowski |
William Morgan is a spunky, "almost" eleven-year-old who is about three feet tall. He explains to his friends that this is because he was born with a condition called dwarfism, and that, just like them, he'll finish school, go to college and have a regular future. I just won't get much taller, that's all." | |
| William enjoys school and gets good grades, plays
xylophone in the school band and is a member of the school safety
patrol. His favorite subject is science and William hopes to be a
scientist someday... or a lawyer... or any number of careers he's
thought about wanting to have one day!
William's parents and his brother and sister are all of
average size. Will's brother, Jonathan, is eight years old and
his sister, Mindy, is an infant. Will is quick to point out the
size is not a good indicator of age or maturity. "When people
think that I'm a baby or when it's hard for them to believe that I'm
older than my brother even though Jonathan's a whole lot bigger than
me, well that can make it hard to be a Little Person." As William begins making friends with Brenda, he teaches her
about his experiences growing up small and helps her discover the
similarities they share in being kids!
