Ryo, Beyond the Badge

Description of book

Once upon a time, there was a story called "Ryo, Beyond the Badge" that will make you feel super happy because it's all about facing problems and learning about yourself. Once upon a time, there was a detective named Ryo. But one day, something sad happened and he couldn't be a detective anymore. His friends, Shiba and Rey, wanted to help him feel better, so they took him to a special place called the Kindhearted Sanctuary. It was a place where Ryo could get lots of love and support to make him feel happy again. At that special place, kids play games that help them learn to be good friends, talk to each other, and do things together as a team. Ryo learns super important lessons from Oliver and Tilly about how special he is and how to be kind to others. Ryo also finds out that doing fun activities helps him find new things that make him really excited! A person shouldn't be defined by their job or their grades. Instead, they should be defined by the things they're good at, the things that make them happy, and the love and support they get from their friends and community. The lesson of the story is super duper important: you shouldn't judge someone just by their job or grades, but by what they can do!
