This book taught me so many important lessons. Most importantly, accepting people for who they are, instead of how they look, can make life so much better for everyone. Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine how it would feel to be them. Would you like everybody to stare and point or be friendly and kind?A little kindness goes a long way. When you are kind to someone, you can make that person’s day.Another lesson this book has taught me is to be brave. If someone brings you down, do something about it. Tell them to stop. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself.
This is a book that makes me laugh, makes me cry, and gives me endless amounts of hope.This book is a little reminder to always choose kindness also not to judge people and to stand up for yourself.
