What an amazing book about self acceptance and dealing with bullies.

Henry is upset because he is bullied in school so when his favorite Guncle comes to visit, he is ecstatic. Henry’s Guncle spends the day with him while teaching him how being your own special self is is important and fantastic. While this book portrays a gay uncle, in reality it’s not about that. It’s is implied but never stated. The true meaning of the book is love, family support and individualism.
