Charlotte Garside is the youngest girl in the world, and this year she started school for the first time.
Charlotte is 5 years old and her height is 68 cm, and she weighs as much as a newborn baby.




Thumbelina lives with her parents and three older sisters in the UK.The sisters were born completely healthy and are developing like normal children. Thumbelina was no more than 22 inches (55.88 cm) tall at the age of two, and doctors warned her parents that she would likely not grow again. Charlotte Garside suffers from a rare disease called primordial nanism (dwarfism) - there are no more than 100 people with this disease worldwide.
