I am always searching for resources for my young daughter, knowing that in the years to come life gets more complicated and growing up can be hard. Educators know this better than most! I came across these books on bullying, The Weird Series. These books are brilliantly illustrated and so much is portrayed through the pictures. I imagine the conversations (and questions) that would arise from these books would be fantastic. Each books comes with activity pages and questions for discussion. Check these out, and consider adding them to your classroom’s collection:.

How can we as individuals stop the violence and cruelty? That is a million dollar question that no one has the answer to. However, books like these bringing this topic to the forefront in a way that children can digest and starting a conversation with their parents, teachers and peers has to be a start.

“Delightful…Not only for kids, this series is a must for educators, parents and caregivers who want to help children end the cycle of cruelty.” – Barbara Coloroso, best-selling author of The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander
