ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this book blast and for your support. As a child, I too was teased and bullied and why I know from experience, how it feels to be targeted for looking different but thanks to my bad experiences, I got inspired to write my anti-bullying books and help kids deal with bullying!! ** Best Wishes ** John Paul Padilla
