A courageous story about finding your voice, standing up for what's right, and creating a kinder world.
When Ari moves to a new school, he's full of hope and excitement. But that hope quickly fades when a few classmates begin teasing him-for being short, for wearing an old scarf, for simply being new. The taunts turn into hurtful bullying, leaving Ari feeling scared and alone. With the steady support of his parents and his kind cousin Siya, Ari discovers that he doesn't have to stay silent. He finds the strength to speak up-and when his teacher, Mr. Roy, notices what's happening, he takes action. But he doesn't stop at discipline. On a class trip, Mr. Roy leads the students through an eye-opening activity that builds empathy, understanding, and unity.
