Because Ebram comes from a close-knit family and is grounded in his faith, he sees beyond the strange appearances of the Shroudas to the good deeds they do in their community. It's what helps him decide to become a Shrouda himself and start a project he hopes will bring some childhood fun to his unfriendly new middle school, never mind the bullies who pick on him.
My daughter was distraught when she learned that a girl she knew in middle school killed herself yesterday. She attended a candlelight vigil for the suicide victim at her high school where she was a freshman. No one knew why the girl killed herself, and it was a question everyone asked. Rumors were that she was being bullied. Whatever the reason, the message is the same: step out of your comfort zone to help someone in need.
