From top Corporate business woman, to internationally acclaimed author, Anita Telle talks to us about how her child being bullied, changed her and her son\u2019s life as well as the lives of many people from around the world. She has a mission: To teach acceptance and love to children ages 4 \u2013 9 so they will grow up to be amazing, supportive and loving teenagers, immune to peer pressure and bullying. She also has a story to tell. And it\u2019s an important story; one that touches everyone, everywhere, from every culture. But it is especially important for children: Being different IS normal. We are all different, in different ways.\n\nAs a very involved mom, Anita realized just how much she loves children and created the first ever \u201cfeel good\u201d Gnomy\u2019s Boo-Boo Bears for children with a unique story for each Boo-Boo-Bear. Anita is furthering her love for children and is now focusing on anti-bullying because her son Branden was born with a cleft pallet/lip and was bullied for being different. As a mom, she asked herself what she could do to make a change in her son\u2019s life. Anita decided to start writing children\u2019s books with a \u201cmessage of acceptance\u201d.\n\n\xa0\n\nTracy is an Alternative Dispute Resolution Coordinator at the Maryland Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office (MACRO).
