Is Alicia Different? Theresa Borrelli

Many of us have been through challenges, which we had to encounter as children and as adults alike. To be physically challenged may bring cruelty and abuse from others. As a child, Alicia is challenged each day by her peers because of a disorder, Tourette syndrome, which she has no control over. With help from her best friend, Emma, Alicia gains integrity, hope, and courage in addressing her peers. Is Alicia Different? is an example and an inspirational book that teaches acceptance and tolerance, which we all can learn from.
