I read this book with my step-daughter last week, and we both loved it.  She recently had to relocate to a different school and was having some trouble with the kids on the bus.  I felt a bit unprepared to discuss bullying, so we downloaded this wonderful book and read it to each other at bedtime.  It's self-empowerment message was a breath of fresh air compared to the talks I got from my dad as a kid.  Gone is the old notion of physical retribution, and in is the idea of a strong self esteem and the discipline to do the right thing in a tough situation.  Kids need encouragement to be strong, in a gentle way, and this book really put it in a package she could understand and feel good about.  With so much attention on bullying today, it seems a good idea to read this with your kids, whether they are bullied, or in danger of becoming bullies themselves.
