about: "Every time I hear of a child ending their life after others are cruel to them, my heart cries. My child experienced bullying a few years ago. At the time the books for middle school girls were all about being mean to be popular and other mothers were okay with their daughters being mean. This inspired me to write Delightfully Different to teach kindness and respect of differences. I truly believe we are all unique in some way, even if we do not admit it. It is time to change the climate in our schools to one of respect and kindness."D. S. Walker, author of Delightfully Different, has been a registered nurse for over twenty-five years and has extensively studied sensory processing issues related to Asperger's Syndrome. She lives in Honolulu "Every time I hear of a child ending their life after others are cruel to them, my heart cries. My child experienced bullying a few years ago.
