The Troll That Was Misunderstood by Melanie Smith

This book encourages readers to embrace their differences and understand that there’s no need to hide or change just to fit in with what others consider normal. Told in playful verse, the story is designed to delight little ears and invite them to join in with the tale. It teaches young readers an important lesson: everyone needs a friend, and sometimes, a kind word or a bit of encouragement is all it takes to include someone who may feel left out. In this charming story, the creatures of the village learn that just because someone looks a little different or lives in an unusual place, it doesn’t mean they aren’t a good person. You’ll discover how a lonely troll’s life is transformed by a simple act of kindness. I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed creating it.
