Geena Davis confronts childhood teasing and self-doubt in new children's book, "The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page"

Oscar-winning actress Geena Davis is venturing into children's literature with her debut book, "The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page," inspired by her own experiences growing up tall.

In an interview on "CBS Mornings," Davis revealed how her height shaped her childhood and the message she hopes to convey to young readers.

"All I wanted to do was fit in and not stand out," Davis said. "I was always the tallest kid in class, not just girl. And all I wanted to do was be smaller and shrink and not be noticed as much."
