215 pages Summary: Because of a rare genetic condition, Lizzie Velasquez has dealt with harassment about her appearance for most of her life. In 2007, the rise of social media led to her most public and humiliating experience: a then 17-year-old Lizzie came across a YouTube video of herself entitled 'The world's ugliest woman'. Her response drew 34 million unique viewers and half a million subscribers to Lizzie's YouTube channel. In Dare to be Kind Lizzie shares her personal story, the solutions that have worked for her over a lifetime of bullying and on how we can transform society into a kinder, more accepting place. This book will be an invaluable resource for anyone facing bullying, their parents and friends - and anyone who wants to make a difference. (From Amazon)
