Hello,
I pray this notion finds you in the best of health, mind, and spirits through this pandemic. You and your love ones are in my thoughts and prayers. This is Fritz G. DeJOIE, Jr. Author/Illustrator of Beautiful Imperfections, Shaquan, The Beautiful Butterfly.
I'm writing in hopes of encouraging you to accompany me on this journey to share my inspirational coloring book with your friends and family that will help uplift our children who have become and are currently victims of bullying.
Our children are tormented on a daily basis for having mental challenges, a different skin color, autism, a birth defect, vitiligo disorder and the list goes on. I created this coloring book to help children learn the importance behind embracing their individuality with confidence and peacefully speak up against bullying because Imperfection is Beauty! I was once a victim of bullying. How about you? I've suffered from a mental induced psychosis as a teenager and was placed in a psychiatric center because of this. It saddens me to say this but I had to witness first-hand how children suffered from the same conditions as myself or worse, whose voices were silenced and didn't have any support system on the outside to help them get through those dark hours.
How can our children release the pain and suffering of this torment peacefully? Beautiful Imperfections, Shaquan can and will help parents and educators detect those early warning signs of mental and/or physical anguish our youth encounter on daily basis that may be invisible to us in our everyday lives because I enclosed my coloring book with not only an inspiring story but a diary with uplifting questions for children to continue being the light that shines in our troubled world.
