Each Step I Take [Paperback]

Each Step I Take is the poetic story of one girl's journey through bullying. Told from Lila Dooley's teenage point of view, Each Step I Take reflects what many teenagers are experiencing in today's world of growing up with social media and extreme feelings of being excluded by peers or classmates. The poetry, divided into themes of darkness and light, sheds light on how bullying is not just physical-it affects young adults psychologically as well. Lila's message of acceptance and hope is something we all can learn from. As she writes in the poem, Perfect : Perfect is a word to describe ordinary/That's the thing about me/I am not perfect/I am not ordinary/I am extraordinary.
