Lila vient tout juste de demenager dans une nouvelle ville. Excitee a l'idee de se faire de nouveaux amis, elle est abasourdie lorsque, des le premier jour d'ecole, un petit garcon montre du doigt ses cheveux couleur ebene et la traite de corneille. Les autres eleves chuchotent et ricanent, et le coeur de Lila devient lourd. Le jour suivant, Lila cache ses cheveux. Mais cette fois, le petit garcon montre du doigt sa peau foncee en riant. Et quand Lila cache sa peau, ce sont de ses yeux que le petit garcon se moque.

Lila apercoit une corneille sur sa route. Elle tente de chasser l'oiseau, mais il semble l'attendre chaque soir. Doucement, cet oiseau si sombre donnera un peu d'espoir a Lila et lui insufflera le courage d'etre elle-meme et de briller.

Une histoire poignante sur l'intimidation et sur l'acceptation de nos differences et de celles des autres.

Lila has just moved to a new town and can’t wait to make friends at school. But on the first day, a boy points at her and shouts: The new girl’s hair is black like a crow! The others whisper and laugh, and Lila’s heart grows as heavy as a stone. The next day, Lila covers her hair. But this time, the boy points at her dark skin. When she covers her face, he mocks her dark eyes. Now every day at school, Lila hides under her turtleneck, dark glasses, and hat feeling sad and alone.

At her lowest point of despair, a magical encounter with the crow opens Lila’s eyes to the beauty of being different, and gives her the courage to proudly embrace her true self.

A touching story on the impact of bullying and finding the strength to overcome such adversity.
