Charming but it was weird that there was no capitalization in the text. Also, I wish there was little more to the messaging than “the other kids were jealous”.

I didn't like this one, it was cute and the relationship between mother and child was very sweet. But it was one of those storylines where a child is being bullied and then all of a sudden all the bullies decide to stop one day when nothing has changed. I was bullied a lot as a child and these kinds of narratives were so harmful. It made me wonder when everyone would have the big change of heart like in the storybooks and movies, and made me feel like it was my fault or there was something wrong with me. I feel like these kinds of stories need to be handled with care and this one wasn't.
