Today we were very lucky in Tumu Hub to have Mike King, Atlanta Lolohea, Di Hiini and people from I Am Hope come to visit us.
Mike read us a book called TR and Mack. It was about two special characters Mack and TR of course! TR is a truck that used to be a bully but he noticed that he no longer wanted to make people sad but happy. So TR changed his life so people wouldn’t be scared of him. Mack on the other side was a dog and got bullied himself.
Can you guess who bullied Mack?
It was himself! He gathered all the bad things about him and thought about only those thoughts such as i’m ugly, nobody likes me, I bark too much. Mack built these thoughts up so much he thought other people thought that way about him. Now no more spoilers so if you want to read the book go buy it or just search up Mike Kings book.
I think that Mike King is an inspiring person that wants to share his knowledge about Mental health which in my opinion is such an amazing person . It’s even better that he wants to help other people do the same thing! He also won NZ of the year in 2019.
Would you like it if Mike King and his team come to your school?

Hi Ava,
I love your blog post I was there too so I knew that Mack bullied himself but before I knew that Mack bullied himself I thought it might have been his owner. I loved when mike king came to my school it was awesome but if he had never come I would like him to come to my school.
