Pepito is different. But Margot likes him a lot. The candies he gives her are delicious. But the other students make fun of him and think him odd. Pepito is different, fundamentally different. It’s his secret, which makes him fragile. This fanciful tale tells a story of bullying that rings all too true. And the consequences can be tragic.
