Hi everyone! I’ve written a children’s story about bullying in order to raise money to donate to the charity organisation 'Beatbullying' with which I've been involved and which makes a great impact on children's lives. 

Please take a few minutes to view my campaign called 'Caterpillar Pauline' on Indiegogo:

Thank you very much!
