A remarkable and empowering bilingual book that addresses a common challenge faced by children. The story revolves around Mario, who initially despises his braces due to the pain and inconvenience they cause. As he faces mockery from his peers, his older brother Tony becomes a guiding presence, teaching him the importance of self-acceptance and standing up against bullies. This heartwarming tale not only encourages children to embrace orthodontic treatment but also imparts crucial life lessons about resilience and inner strength. The bilingual format, featuring both English and French, adds a unique touch to the story, making it accessible to a wider audience.
