General Notes:

·         The art style was general liked, critics were about specific sections that might need slight improvements.

·         The story and concept was universally liked and agreed upon.

·         Most participants liked the major themes of overcoming bullying and gaining self-esteem. Seen as a way to introduce children on how to cope with bullying or alert students that they might be doing the bullying. Potential school educational resource?

·    All considered it a good way to indirectly tackle disabilities in children. We used the feedback to improve the story and as a result of this, we decided to include more pictures so that it was more appealing to the age group in which we are targeting this book to. We also tried to make the meaning and moral of the story easier for a younger child to grasp and understand through the use of pictures.
