Bullying
by Dana Smith-Mansell
art by Suzanne Riggio
In this
insightful and winsome story, Robin, a seven-year-old girl, sees Bobby,
the new kid in the neighborhood, being teased and bullied by other
kids. Bobby dresses differently and is very small for his age. Robin
wants to help Bobby, but doesn't know how so she asks her parents for
help.
After
witnessing firsthand the teasing that Bobby has to endure, Robin's
mother talks to Bobby and Robin's teacher, Ms. Wells. Ms. Wells
develops a clever class activity to teach the children that everyone is
different, but these differences should not be grounds for bullying.
Using puppets, the children come to see the good in everyone, no matter
how different.This informative book is a must read for all parents of
young children who may be or are dealing with bullies and teasing at
school.
