Being bullied: a personalized story with your child as the hero
Facing unkind words or actions from others can make a child feel incredibly small and isolated. A story about being bullied can walk beside your child through those tough schoolyard moments, validating their hurt without making them feel helpless. It focuses on finding their voice, leaning on safe friends, and remembering their own inherent worth.
This delicate subject is especially relevant for children aged 6 and older who are navigating the harder parts of school life.

Questions about this book
Will the book show the bully getting punished?
The focus remains entirely on your child's emotional journey and resilience, rather than revenge or discipline for the other kids. You can use the 'anything special' field to request a specific positive focus, and if any scene does not fit your family's approach, you can rewrite the text and ask for the picture to be redrawn.
Can the story include a specific friend who always stands up for my child?
You can add that supportive friend as an extra character. You can input their age, what they love doing, and include them in the plot by selecting Friendship as the lesson.
