BOOK 6: MIRA'S MIRROR
When Being Kind to Others Is Easier Than Being Kind to Yourself
Mira is the kindest person everyone knows. Except to herself.
She notices when friends are struggling. She helps without being asked. She listens, encourages, and always says the right thing.
But inside her own head? A different voice is talking.
You're so stupid. You can't do anything right. Everyone is better than you. You're not good enough.
Mira has spent the entire school year helping The Brighteners through anger, grief, fear, and silence. Now it's her turn to face something hard-and she doesn't know how to let others help her.
With support from her friends, her mom, and her teacher Ms. Chen, Mira discovers the Best Friend Test Would you say this to your best friend? If not, don't say it to yourself.
But changing the voice in your head is harder than it sounds. Especially when you've been listening to it your whole life.
