This book is about a common theme that many young children and even many adults have or will someday experience at some point in their lives. Many of us have either been a victim of bullying or have witnessed it affecting others at least one point in our lives; bullying is a common alienation that can be found in many different forms in many different social situations, regardless of background, and it's important to enlighten a young mind early in their life. This story does a good job of making the topic easy to understand for a child and the illustrations help make a great visual that children can relate to. The story tackles strong themes such as self-esteem and empathy towards others.Regardless whether it is physical or verbal bullying, it is still unfortunately a prominent feature throughout society today. I think that teaching a child to understand bullying early in their emotional development is vital to preventing them from being the victim or even the perpetrator in these kinds of social situations, the story does a an especially good job of teaching the child how to defend themselves if they become the victim of a bully. I think this book does a good job of shedding some light on the topic and makes it easier to explain the problem to young children through captivating storytelling that they can be interested in. The illustrations throughout the book also help to put the story into something that is easy for a child to relate to. The pictures throughout the book do a great job of expressing the author's storytelling. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for an easy way to teach some good social morals to a young child and to help them overcome it themselves if they face it at some point during social events.This book is good for children and parents because it tells a story that is easy to understand for children but also at the same time it includes a preface that is aimed at adults and helps develop self-assurance towards raising an obedient and responsible child. I definitely would recommend this book for anyone with a child or with one on the way!
