Based on the acclaimed novel by Diane Lang and Michael Buchanan, the film has been heralded by critics for bringing real world issues that affect teenagers to an audience looking for answers. Dr. John Barge, Superintendent of Schools – State of Georgia declares it “a must see for every parent and educator.”
Our Thoughts: For the most part, my family has been very lucky. My children has not encountered much bullying. But I know its always a possibility, and this movie is the perfect way to teach your children how to deal with it in a responsible and mature way. Jimmy is an inspiring and endearing character that inspires kids to make positive changes in their lives. But the show also helps them see that people come in all shapes and sizes, and they are all beautiful.
