Have you had to deal with bullies? Have your kids had run-ins with bullies at school, or in sports, or have they even bullied someone else?
I’ve had the chance to read, with my kids, a new children’s book by Dicy McCullough that is written from the unique perspective of the bully; in this case, the bully is a dog named Lucky. He realizes (with the help of a few other dogs) that his bullying tendencies aren’t making or keeping him any friends.
The book is a great tool for parents, teachers, and counselors who need a way to help explain this hot-button issue to kids….it was easy for both of my girls (3 1/2 and 5 1/2) to follow along with and understand.
You have a chance to win your own copy below, as well as RSVP to the Twitter party, where you can win other prizes!
To win a copy of the book, enter here, then be sure and RSVP and join us as we discuss what everybody is talking about these days: bullies.
