It is really a blessing to have a child that's willing to communicate how other's treat her is affecting her. I know as a oarent, I would want to educate myself from the view of a child in order to get a better understanding of what my child could possibly be experiencing. This gives me a great deal of knowledge and communication skills of how to handle a situation. I think parents and children should read this book together and have a discussion. It's also good for the classroom and teachers.

Thanks A Lot for this :-)

What an inspiration little Laniyah is. Come to think of it, most of us have been bullied one way or the other but not alot of us can speak up. I commend this little girl for being the voice of so many kids and even adults out there (believe it or not)who are victims of ignorant and habitually cruel individuals who are overbearing especially to smaller or weaker people. I once was a victim of bullying so I know exactly where this little gem is coming from...
Thank you for speaking up, Laniyah. I know your book will save many lives and make the world a better place by creating added awereness to the problem, hence cracking down on bullies and helping to put and end to what I call "evil browbeating"
Thank you for your courage and all the best with you book. I applaud you, lil missy!!!
