Title: Bijan Always Wins

Bijan, a little boy, always has to win, regardless of what it is. It could be totally off activities like waking up, brushing your teeth (even though you have no competition here!), tying your shoes, drawing pictures, eating veggies, playing with dinosaurs, falling asleep, you name it! Bijan is obsessed with winning. He even wins in his dreams, defeating dragons!

Eventually, other kids start to dislike sitting with Bijan. His actions have slowly started affecting everyone around him. He feels lonely and left out in spite of being with his friends. Bijan realizes that having friends, connecting with others and having worthwhile moments, are much more important than winning every time! He understands what he loses when he is adamant about winning all the time. This change makes him more kind with his friends and he gains back his friendships.
