In "David Is an Ugly Word" by Cindy Dorminy, the story follows a young boy named David who struggles with self-acceptance and bullying in his school life. As he grapples with harsh words thrown at him by peers, David embarks on a poignant journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the search for inner beauty. Through the support of unexpected friendships and the lessons learned along the way, he begins to redefine what truly matters—kindness, courage, and the strength to rise above hate. This heartfelt narrative explores themes of identity, self-worth, and the impact of words on a young heart. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
