Product Description
From the stars of TLC's critically acclaimed reality show Little People, Big World comes heartfelt advice to help today's families overcome life's obstacles together and grow closer in the process.

The Roloffs are no ordinary family. Parents Matt and Amy are little people raising four children: a pair of teenage twins, Jeremy and Zachary, one of whom is average size and one who is little; preteen daughter, Molly; and the youngest, Jacob. Being part of this unique family -- where something as simple as shopping for back-to-school clothing can be a real challenge -- has presented no shortage of struggles, and in Little Family, Big Values the Roloffs share the values that have helped them and become the cornerstone of their bond.

Through family stories, each member of the family weighs in on the importance of these values in their life and the lessons -- sometimes hard -- they've learned in doing their best to live by them:

  • Amy tells of the decision she made, out of love for her family, to put her career as a teacher on hold and become a stay-at-home mom.
  • Matt shares how keeping faith that God has a plan for him has helped him tackle any family setbacks with confidence.
  • Jeremy describes the respect he feels for his brother Zach when he sees him on the soccer field giving players twice his size a run for their money.
  • Zachary recognizes his siblings' love for him when they willingly sacrifice a Christmas at home to be with him at the hospital for surgery.
  • Matt's mother, Peggy, reveals how his perseverance with a boyhood paper route helped him become the successful businessman he is today.

In these and other inspiring stories, the Roloffs show us why they've become such a beloved American family and offer advice on how all families can put these values into practice to achieve a greater level of love, respect, and understanding -- no matter what their size.

5 out of 5 stars THE ROLOFFS BOOK   September 23, 2008
I BOUGHT THIS AS A GIFT FOR MY PARENTS WHO LOVE THE TV SHOW "LITTLE PEOPLE BIG WORLD".


3 out of 5 stars Alright   August 5, 2008
I really enjoy watching the Roloff family on TV and thought I would really enjoy this book. But that's not the case. I was never able to get into the book, and about half way through I finally gave up on it, and put it back on the book shelf.I'm glad I bought it at bargain price.

I enjoyed reading how the family dynamics are put together in this easy to read Roloff "recipe" for their family. I did enjoy reading from the kids the most as I think that is the true test of Matt and Amy's values. The kids have really learned a lot from their parents and I especially like the part in which they all talk about a positive attitude. They sure thought up "the Secret" before Oprah talked about it! I would have like to read more from Molly and even Jacob. Also, the stories do get a little repetative and preachy at times. All in all this was a great story and an easy read. This is one that you can put down and pick up at any time and not feel lost. The Roloff's are really a great family!

I've been a big fan of the TLC show starring the Roloff family, so was quite excited to read this book.

The Roloff family values are ones that everyone should strive to incorporate into their family -- love, respect, committment, responsiblity, perseverance. Told mostly from Matt and Amy's points of view, this is a quick, easy read that is even more poignant due to the obstacles that this family has had to overcome.

I would have loved to have heard more from Molly, the Roloff's daughter, or from Jacob, the youngest son. But there are good stories from the other Roloff kids, Zachary and Jeremy, and overall this is a really encouraging read.
