When young Andreas reveals to his class that he wants to become a dancer, his classmates’ laughter becomes his daily nightmare. He lives with his mother and two younger brothers since his father left for work in Germany. Dance is his only refuge from difficulties — he secretly takes lessons and there he feels truly himself. But when the school bullies start teasing him, Andreas reaches his breaking point. One day he explodes and gets into fights, until his teacher Mrs. Penelope takes the situation into her own hands in a unique way.
Your heart will break when you meet young Andreas, who will increasingly remind you of those children we all knew during our school years — the ones who sat alone at recess, who had dreams different from the “normal” ones. Georgia Kiziridou writes with the tenderness this subject demands, without sugar-coating reality. This book is not just a story — it is a survival guide for every child who has felt different, and a lesson in empathy for those who need to learn acceptance. With its practical guide included, it is an essential tool for every parent and educator.
Every child who has felt “different” should read this book, and every adult who wants to understand how to support such a child. Parents concerned about school bullying will find practical advice here, while educators will discover ways to create a safe environment for all students. If you love books like “Wonder” or other stories about accepting differences, this book will deeply move you.
