The Berry Story is an inspirational work that shows the grim reality of life, where self-affirmation and self-acceptance are important. It provides wisdom to enlighten our lives with brightness and allows the reader to heal and grow through the flaws of their weaknesses. Brandon the Blackberry is no less than a unique and extra-caring kid. What makes him sensitive are the remarks and taunts directed at him by some kids. Brandon is regularly bullied by those he wants to befriend, and this situation crushes him and creates confusion in his mind. He is stuck between the nice words he receives from his parents, who constantly remind him that a kid must be good to others, and the bullying he experiences every day. Brandon spends time figuring out how to make friends and be accepted. He tries to befriend other kids but ultimately receives rejection and hatred instead of love and acceptance. He keeps his hopes high as he sees that everybody is not evil, and his greatest wish—to become better than others—is not, however, shattered.
