Emma and her roundness are the laughing stock of the schoolyard. The bullying she suffers manifests as a dark spot on her skin that gradually grows and becomes a shadow. Who will reach out to her?
**Themes**: school bullying, difference, scapegoating, solidarity, friendship, tolerance
**Key Points**:
- A child-friendly text that helps raise awareness of the impact of words, encourages children not to be victims or perpetrators, and teaches them to speak up. It's about saying no to violence.
- The illustrations, created like paintings, add a touch of whimsy and are full of details.
