There are many children’s books published about the subject of bullies and how to handle them. We didn’t own a single copy of any, until recently. One, by Kathryn Otoshi takes the topic of bullying and turns it into a beautifully simple picture book.
By using colors as characters, she allows the subject at hand to be brought down to a level of understanding that any age can relate to. Visit your local library or pick it up on amazon, this is a must read for all students. Ask your little ones what they thought about the character one. Maybe a superhero?? Righting the wrong and standing up for the other colors... The story was short and to the point with illustrations even Ty, our 16 month old, enjoyed looking through before going to bed.
A great book to have around the house for some light reading on a heavy subject.
Take a stand and…
See you on the mat!
