The Thing About Georgie by Lisa Graff

Georgie is a dwarf.  Thankfully his parents, teachers and best friend are supportive. 
The only thing in his life that truly bothers him is Jeanie the Meanie, who constantly picks on him.  Then two major changes occur . . .his best friend Andy wants to ask Russ to join their dog walking business and Georgie's mom is pregnant. 
This book thoughtfully shares the frustrations of someone who is a dwarf plus regular friendship/parental issues.  Throughout the book the author speaks directly to the reader and asks them to try a task and then points out how Georgie is not capable of doing it.
