This children’s book is used as a tool to spread literacy in communities, empower young minds, and make a social impact. It is a simplified and modernized version of the Greek Mythology story of Echo and Narcissus. Instead of focussing on intimate relationships, this story tackles friendship problems. The story teaches children to accept and leave toxic situations, learn to be independent, and practice self-care activities. So in the story, Echo became less obsessed with recognition from social media and found happiness and real friends in the process.
