Even though Sammie gets good grades with his pencil and thinks it is very beautiful, the teasing is so hurtful that Sammie is ready to throw his purple pencil away. That’s when he hears it… psst-psst! The whisper is coming from Toley Ranz, a mysterious character who turns up with words of wisdom just when Sammie needs them the most. With the help of Toley and his whispered words of encouragement, Sammie will find the courage to stand up for himself!
