Tower of Power

I’ve posted before about being tall.

I am 6′ 7″, and it’s been a blessing and a curse.

I’ve found some comfort lately in a book called The Tall Book, by Arianne Cohen, who is 6′ 3″.

The Tall Book by Arianne Cohen is a celebration of life from on high. Published by Bloomsbury USA.


This book is written for adults, but tall people of all ages can be glad it’s on the library shelf waiting for them when they need help in unlocking the mysteries at the center of talldom. It’s helped a lot of people already.

“As a twelve-year-old told to act my age and not my shoe size, I could honestly say, ‘They’re the same.’ This is a book for everyone, like me, who grew up (and up) to be proud of their height,” says 6′ 4″ Olympic gold medal basketball player Rebecca Lobo. I’m glad I found it!

    I’m the tallest girl in my class. I love being tall. I’m going to ask my mom to get this book for me so I can read it when I’m old enough to appreciate it.

    I’m old (and way tall) enough already to appreciate this! Thanks for sharing, T!

    You better not ask me that, George! I might say “It’s raining” and spit on you!

    No spitting, please!

    I was only kidding. I would never really spit on anyone.
