Synopsis

The journey to self-esteem is set in motion by an encounter with something we all have: a good flaw. And acceptance - just saying yes to the presence of a good flaw - is the way to cross into a world where wholeness, realness, and self-expression can put an end to bullying and combat negativity with positivity. For anyone wanting to prepare for the social-emotional challenges they have to look forward to in school or dealing with the insecurities that arise while finding your way in the world, Flawd is an energetic guide for seeing flaws as the doorway to something more. With dynamic advice from teens and celebrities around the world, Flawd is a perfect manifesto for readers looking to stop hate in the world.

Great book for preteens. Emily-Anne Rigal offers helpful advice without sounding unconvincing to the reader. She is open about her experiences, including how she treated others at a younger age.
