My kids love it and read through it in a day, they're re-reading it already! The inclusivity is great and the advice is simple and solid. My only complaint is it seems like maybe some ai was used due to use/creation of the word "cryingly" and this photo, the bully is missing their bottom half lol

Beware! This is a CHILDREN’S book and they are trying to spread propaganda to children. I thought this was a book to teach children basic social skills not how to use pronouns and how to date if you’re LGBTQ. Keep adult topics out of children’s books! I had to cut out 3 pages.
