Bullying is a serious worldwide epidemic that endangers children as well as adults. My book, The Woodman, is a fantasy tale of a child who was finally taught a lesson on the dangers of bullying. My inspiration for writing this book was a neighbor whos been blind since birth. We were chatting one day, and she told me her eleven-year-old daughter does not want to go to school because of the constant harassment she endures due to her mothers visual impairment.
