Joel Pellerin – illustratör

A boy of ten; he was happy, funny, fun to be around, and I was smart. Then one day I was none of these. I had suffered a traumatic brain injury. I was bullied by my teachers, my good friends, and others. I moved to a corner where I placed a book up in front of me and closed the world out. I refused to give up after learning what a TBI incident was, I was accepted into three different writers schools and I am now a professional speaker. To write this book I had to see this story through the eyes of a ten year old boy. I had to overcome.

Sometimes kids feel like they cant be real, and who they are inside, they often try to hide it. This was true for a little girl named Millicent, who learned that being different, is alright. As a matter of fact, the only things that make us the same are our differences.
