Petite & Proud Day: 15 Latino Stars You Probably Didn't Know Were Surprisingly Short [PHOTOS]

Not only are "Star Wars Day," " Firefighter's Day" and "School Nurse Day" all honored on May 4, but so is "Petite and Proud Day."

Wednesday marks the annual celebration for every person who is 5 feet and 4 inches tall or shorter, according to Days of the Year. Although the origins of this national day is unknown, Petite and Proud Day is all about celebrating the advantages a short person has, such as squeezing into tight places and being able to fit in children's clothing.
