Bullying. Bravery. Forgiveness. Friendship.
Bullying is a global issue
“When leading child psychologist Dr Michael Carr-Gregg says that bullying is in every classroom, in every school, at every level, you realise the magnitude of the problem. Knowing that this book can help parents, teachers and children to have a conversation about this behaviour is the most rewarding part of the project.”
– Author Katie Flannigan
A positive guide for victim and bully
This is ultimately a positive story about the difficult topic of bullying, which focuses on the power of bravery, friendship and forgiveness. Unlike other bullying books, this one gives the Bully a chance at redemption – to show kids that it’s never too late to ask for forgiveness.
The perfect classroom resource
Children on both sides of the bullying exchange can feel isolated from their teachers and classmates, and too anxious to ask for help. This book is the perfect resource for opening discussions in the classroom or acting as a reference point of isolated incidents.
