My daughter was bullied at her elementary school
in Japan because of the color of her skin.
Bullying can happen to any child
and it affects us all
I wrote a book called Mio The Beautiful to spread
the message that all children are beautiful.

Every school in Japan
needs one copy of this book!
More families in Japan are now going through this.

The idea of publishing the book in a bilingual format was brilliant, as diversity and bullying are rarely, if ever, addressed in Japanese children’s literature.
