This delightful children's book was written with the hope of showing that treating others kindly, regardless of how different they may be, can lead to a happier world. Wobbly Willie is different, but everyone loves him just as he is, and that makes all the difference!
As someone who was mercilessly bullied throughout my school years, I have often wondered how my life might have been different if only I had been treated kindly. Would I be as happy as Willie? Would I have been successful? There's no way I can know. But if this book can help change kids' minds about being cruel to their peers, then it will have done a vital and perhaps life-saving job.
How I wish that it wasn't only children who needed/will benefit from this book.
