Description
Ruby hates herself so much that she often feels like a piece of rubbish. She's constantly bullied at school and sometimes wishes to escape her misery forever. However, one day Ruby meets Dot, the lunchtime lady who shows her kindness and understanding. This encounter sparks something warm within Ruby, helping her to shift from self-hate to self-respect. Dot's presence in Ruby's life is a turning point. With time and support, Ruby begins to find her voice and stand up to those who have been bullying her. She makes new friends and experiences happiness for the first time in her life. A newfound confidence grows within her, allowing Ruby to break free from the cycle of self-loathing. This story follows Ruby's journey as she learns to overcome her struggles with self-acceptance and finds a sense of belonging and happiness.
