The book
The smallest man in the room. The biggest story in Rwanda.
Kagarara was born with dwarfism in a country of a thousand hills. For years, being small was the first thing anyone noticed about him. Then he picked up his phone and showed the world what else was true. Now the world watches, and he has written the book he wishes he'd had as a boy.
“I never got taller. But I grew bigger than anyone thought I could.”
Meet Kagarara

Millions of people follow Kagarara. This year he travelled across Africa, met the Prime Minister of Rwanda, and wrote his first book for children. Here he is, in his own words.

How this happened
Then a man came from across the ocean
In 2026, American creator Ashton Hall saw one of Kagarara's videos and got on a plane. Together they travelled through Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon, and Kagarara carried the Rwandan flag in every country. When he came home, the Prime Minister was waiting to shake his hand.
