My character, Ronald, goes on a journey of self-discovery and learns that people are not always kind. He discovers that loving yourself—no matter what others think—is key, and that self-love can be a superpower.

Our story uses humor to explore serious topics like bullying and self-esteem.

This book is for kids who sometimes feel like outsiders, like I did. Drawing from my own experiences, I show the challenges many children face every day. Ronald’s low self-worth and the pressure from his peers appear throughout the story. By facing his insecurities head-on, he finds his voice and builds confidence.

My hope is to show that learning to love yourself, regardless of what others say or think, is essential.
