This is a great book! It has cover to cover art that is sure to please our children’s eyes, and the story is simple and relatable because it’s in a familiar setting. It contains the most important element in children’s books – a source of good lessons. It teaches bravery, forgiveness, and friendship. On top of that, this book contains elements of an unforgettable children’s book. It has unique and memorable characters, a turning point, believable conversation, an engaging plot, and a happy ending.


I’m giving it 5 out of 5 stars. It tackles the topic of bullying through a fictional story, and serves as a positive guide for victims and bullies. It is the perfect classroom resource. I highly recommend it to children 4 – 8 years old.
