14-year-old Jyoti Amge embraces her tiny size and the attention that she receives as a result of it. While being shorter than the average two-year-old child and weighing only 11lb (5kg) must present challenges Jyoti attends regular school and share normal schoolgirl interests with her classmates.  She has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia and won't grow any taller than her current height.
Due to her size, Jyoti has to have clothes and jewellery made for her. She sleeps in a tiny bed and uses special plates and cutlery to eat, as normal-sized utensils are too big.
