"Better Than You" by Trudy Ludwig explores the themes of friendship, rivalry, and empathy in a school setting. The story centers around two girls, one of whom struggles with feelings of jealousy and competition when she feels overshadowed by her friend’s talents and achievements. As the narrative unfolds, the protagonist learns the importance of valuing individuality and understanding that everyone has their unique strengths. Through thoughtful interactions and reflection, the story highlights how kindness and support can outweigh the negative feelings of comparison, ultimately fostering a more inclusive and positive environment among peers.
