Teasing and bullying can be a frightening and hurtful experience that causes others to feel badly about themselves and unaccepted.

Tilly, who experiences teasing, shows kindness to Billy when he is now the one being teased. Instead of standing by and going along with Billy’s teaser, Tilly chooses to show kindness and a friendship begins. Together, they show kindness toward others and help them to feel accepted.

Tilly believes kindness in even the smallest gesture can turn the sadness and hurt of teasing and bullying around and provide friendship. It is the quirky, and unusual differences that make each person special. Tilly doesn’t mind at all that others are different. She wants everyone to get along and have fun.

“It’s All Silly,” Says Tilly is a great example of how simply standing up for others with kindness and helping them to feel accepted, can be life changing. Respecting others differences helps to make others feel valued and not alone. Tilly is a free-spirited soul who sees everyone as the unique and special person that they are.

Tilly will leave you asking yourself, “How can I be kinder, friendlier, and more accepting toward others?”
