Synopsis

I was inspired to write this book because I was bullied as a child. I know how cruel children can be, but also how most children who bully are not bad children. I believe that all children are good inside. I began this book in 2007 and I have worked on it over the last few years with the help of many family members and friends. In the beginning, my cousin Shayda gave me the wonderful and necessary child perspective. My brother Zachary was the inspiration for the name, but not the character. I want to thank my older sister, Sarah, my husband, Gary, and my college roommate, Michelle, for being inspirations for the names of the other characters. Thank you also to my supporters and editors: Mom, Dad, Cathy, and Stephen. Thank you Gary for supporting me through all parts of my life. Thank you Robert Fuller for encouraging me to write this book. Lastly, I would like to thank my elementary school teachers, Ms. Chong and Ms. Masatani, for helping me edit this book for the elementary audience. I hope this book helps parent's teach their children empathy, respect, and dignity. I hope this book gives a voice to the child who is being bullied at school, but also provides a role model to the child who bullies. Enjoy!
