By Gracie Lee, Christian Post Contributor

The world's shortest woman has visited the Big Apple this week, and was seen out and about New York City.

Jyoti Amge, who is 19 years old, is official the shortest woman in the world, standing at just 2 and a half feet.

She is so small that officials boasted in the latest version of the Guinness Book of World Records they were able to put a life-sized photo of her inside the pages…well from her head to her knees anyway – it's still an astonishing sight.
