Valentina was a bright and cheerful girl with beautiful, curly brown hair.

However, Valentina had a secret that made her sad. She felt embarrassed about her weight.

At school, some kids made fun of Valentina because of her size. It hurt her feelings and made her want to hide.

One day, Valentina met a kind and wise old woman named Abuela Rosa. She noticed Valentina's sadness and asked, 'What's wrong, my dear?'

With tears in her eyes, Valentina told Abuela Rosa about the hurtful comments and how she wished she could change.

Abuela Rosa gently held Valentina's hands and said, 'My dear, you are perfect just the way you are. You have a heart full of kindness and a mind filled with dreams.'

From that day on, Valentina started to see herself differently. She realized that her worth was not determined by her size.

With a newfound sense of self-confidence, Valentina stood up to the mean kids at school. She told them, 'I am strong, beautiful, and valuable!'

The mean kids realized their hurtful actions were wrong. They apologized to Valentina and became her friends.

Valentina's journey taught her the importance of self-love and acceptance. She vowed to spread kindness and help others feel valued too.
