The STORY BEHIND THE FACE

The Boy Behind the Face

James didn’t like that he looked different than everyone else. He wasn’t scared of a monster hiding under his bed, he was scared of the monster he saw in the mirror every day – until he decides he doesn’t want to be sad and afraid anymore. James becomes his own superhero and chases the monster away with bravery, kindness & love!
