This is a beginning book. I didn’t really know what I was getting when I ordered it. When I got the book I realized it was very basic, so I did not read this to the nephew. I know he would not have enjoyed this at all.

I will say, I’ve never heard of ‘Spirit Day’ I guess this is a new thing people are trying to catch on. It’s a day to stand up to bullying and wear a purple shirt. It’s the 3rd Thursday in October. It’s a day to support LGBTQ youth. I mean it sounds wonderful and all, but it’s the first I’ve heard of it. I love purple, so I can do this, but they need to do a bit more marketing.

Diverse cast and it’s about being proud of who you are and standing up to bullies in this book. Simple. It’s not really a story so it’s more just a commercial. The art has a lot of spirit in it.
