Invisible Isabelle

Isabelle adored designing and creating clothes, so when she received a sewing box for her seventh birthday, she set to work making a special and unique outfit for herself. She was delighted with her ‘cuckoo’ ensemble, but her classmates teased her and laughed at her for wearing something different from the normal fashions popular at school. Devastated Isabelle ran to the restroom and threw away her new clothes, hairstyle and accessories. Without her unique outfit, she blended so much into the background that she quite literally vanished. Scared and confused, Isabelle confided in her imaginative art teacher, who explained to Isabelle that the problem was that she had lost her self-expression. She encouraged her to embrace her unique style and to wear her beautiful creations with pride. Isabelle began designing her own fashions again, and although not everyone liked them, she was confident and proud enough to go her own way.
