Publisher's Synopsis
When Michael starts school, he discovers that he doesn't enjoy the same things as the other boys, like playing ball. Some of his classmates bully him for being different.
Can Michael overcome the bullying and find a friend like him?
Developing healthy social skills when entering the school-age years is critical for all children. This includes those who are developing "different" interests to what society expects.
As a child, the author had little interest in sports, and bases his story on how he handled his exclusion and bullying growing up. He hopes that his own experience will inspire healthy success in a new generation of children, and aims to promote inclusion for all.
A explanatory note to teachers and parents is included.
