This book is for children and adults alike unveiling the impact negative words can have on our self-image. A letter to the Parents, from the author, provides a practicable way to start a conversation about bullying and self-image. Shelly was a happy girl who loved playing dress up and looking in the mirror. She faced every day with a smile, especially after looking in the mirror. She'd smile and her image would smile back. But nothing prepared her for the day she experienced being bullied by a couple of her classmates. Discovering that the comments of our peers could be both cruel and leave an indelible mark our self-image. It changed how she began to view herself. Suddenly she's faced with the dilemma of accepting the opinions of two of the school's bullies or try to ignore them. A valuable life lesson is obtained as readers witness the strength and bravery of this little girl as she goes through the process of learning how to feel normal again.
