Stand Straight, Ella Kate by Kate Klise

Ella Kate Ewing was born in 1872. Although she was a regular-size baby, when she was 7-years old she started growing at an alarming rate.  By the time she was 17, she was 18 feet tall and took a job as an attraction in a Chicago museum, despite her parent’s reluctance.  This book of biographical fiction for children is a delightful tale. Although Ella Kate was often considered a freak by others, she never allowed herself to accept that. Instead, she accepted her unique gifts, and lived a full and happy life.
