(4) K-3 Photographs by Bill Youmans. This photo-essay about living with dwarfism is ostensibly narrated by fourteen-year-old Josh. He discusses both the trials he faces (reaching things, being too short to play basketball) and solutions found (a special pull-down clothing rack, becoming team manager). The color photos are obviously staged, but the sentiments expressed seem genuine. A note about dwarfism is included.
