This picture book style title for school students looks at the topic of Aids and HIV. It provides a first-person testimony of Melissa, a young girl living with HIV. She bravely explains what HIV is, how she was diagnosed, details about the medication she takes, and the physical effect of the virus on her daily life. Melissa also reveals her fear of telling people about her illness, and the stigma that made her initially feel she needed to keep her condition a secret. The intimate and direct impact of using Melissa's real first-person testimony will help encourage children to empathize with her situation, and to understand how some children's lives are very different from their own.
