Before long his happiness and enthusiasm were replaced with loneliness, fear and sadness. One day Lenny could no longer face the bullies and went to the forest instead of going to school. There he met a wise owl who gave valuable advice that helped Lenny to regain his confidence and happiness.

If only I had this book when I was going through difficulties at school. I highly recommend this book. Teaching children from a young age that they are enough can positively change that generation to create a better world." Evette Brown, Naturopath, Torquay, Australia "I think this book is fantastic. The illustrations have turned out so well, and the story is great too. I can use it with workshops on bullying for sure." Sue Hyde, Director, Stop Wait Go Managing Behaviour, Darwin, Australia "A fantastic book, which at its heart portrays the risks associated with a negative self-esteem in childhood; furthermore illustrating the degree to which that perception is often influenced by others. The illustrations are crisp, clear and plentiful, providing a great visual context that would engage even emergent readers during a read-aloud. I highly recommend this book, and look forward to reading the authors next work."
