Excerpts from the book...
"Some things like the color of our skin, our lips or our eyes we cannot change because we are born with that."
"Sometimes, I would not tell mom and dad how bad it really was, I'd go home and just cry, cry, cry"
"I just wish this book can help other kids like me... and I wish it can help people see that because; you might be big that you are not unhealthy or you are a monster like people may make you feel."
