This book is called “Not Fat Because I Wanna Be” and it was written by LaNiyaha Bailey, a 6 year old girl who has been bullied at school because of her weight.
She tells her own story on NPR: http://www.npr.org/2011/03/15/134566074/6-Year-Old-Author-Fights-Stigma-Of-Child-Obesity
The Root writes about it here: http://www.theroot.com/buzz/not-fat-because-i-wanna-be
I can identify with LaNiyah’s story so, so much. And I hope her book helps to inspire other kids who are experiencing this particular pain, and lets other kids know that bullying is NEVER OK.
