It's not everyday you hear of a 7 year old publishing a book, but 7 year old LaNiya Bailey has done just that by publishing a book about obesity and bullying. LaNiya's book was inspired by her own weight struggles which started at the tender age of three. Despite consulting with their family pediatrician, LaNiya's parents knew something was wrong when her weight continued increasing rapidly, spiraling to over 100 pounds by the time she reached age 7. LaNiya unfortunately has been the victim of bullying as a result of her weight but has used her experiences to in-turn help other kids in dealing similar issues by publishing her self-titled book, "Not Fat Because I Wanna Be". LaNiya message is clear and simple, she wants people to know that "bullying isn't cool" and hopes her book will make a difference in the lives of children her age.
So inspiring to see a young child using her experiences to inspire and instill hope in other children!
