One day, the main character, Genie, transfers to a new school.
I'm both excited and nervous about meeting new friends.
But that's okay.
Genie has a 'special secret'.
With that secret, Genie instantly became the most popular friend at his new school.
The children who became friends with Genie speak in unison.
“Genie is kind and affectionate to everyone!”, “Genie is brave and courageous!”
But not everyone liked Genie.
I had a friend who hated Genie for no reason.
Genie tries to get along with the boy, but the boy constantly bullies and makes her life miserable.
Genie, who was always bright and confident, suddenly feels infinitely small and uncomfortable in a corner of her heart whenever she stands in front of that friend.
Actually, I don't want to hang out with this guy, but you have to get along with your friends.
What should I do going forward?
No matter how close you are, there are lines, boundaries, that must be maintained between friends.
We call a friend who doesn't keep that line 'rude.'
Setting boundaries with a rude friend isn't about getting angry at them or fighting with them.
It's about protecting and respecting myself as a means of expressing what I want and what I don't want.
Now, with Genie, the main character in the story, let's practice communicating our thoughts firmly to a rude friend without getting angry, crying, or being upset.

Into the book
Genie said this child is a true friend
I realized that wasn't the case.
If you are a friend who truly loves me
There's no way you could be so rude.
Genie decided to be honest.
To protect your own heart
I decided to draw a line.
“I make myself happy
I'm going to play with real friends who love me.
“That’s what friends are supposed to be like.”
Genie won't tolerate rudeness anymore.
That's absolutely not okay.

Publisher's Review
“We are friends, but there is a line, a ‘boundary’, between us that we must maintain!”
“You have to get along with your friends.” Our children, who have left their parents’ embrace and are starting to form new relationships at daycare, kindergarten, and school.
As parents tell us to get along, children's relationships are not always easy.
What should I say to a friend who tries to get along but somehow feels uncomfortable and offended when they're around me? How should I explain these feelings?
For those confused children, this book teaches them the meaning of 'rudeness' and the concept of 'boundaries' that are essential between friends.
By learning the concept of boundaries, children learn how to prevent and deal with bullying.
You can grow strongly based on healthy friendships.
Setting your own boundaries can also be a huge help in developing self-control, self-esteem, and self-direction.
Education about diversity is now essential for our children who will live in a multicultural society.
The friends in this book come in many different forms.
But there's nothing wrong with being friends.
Friends with different skin colors, friends in wheelchairs, we can all get together and laugh.
By observing and talking with your child about the various friends they make, they will naturally learn to acknowledge and respect differences.
