Roman is excited for camp. He jumps out of bed and wolfs down his breakfast each morning. Until one day he bumps into Iris at lunch (literally). She begins to do lots of little things that make Roman much less excited for camp, but he doesn't say anything, just withdraws until Iris is challenged by another child. Will Roman find the confidence to tell an adult what is happening?
This is a lovely, gentle story that teaches children about what bullying is and what they should do about it. With clear, colourful pictures it is easy to follow the story with carefully chosen words to help young children understand the tale. The book ends with hints and tips about what bullying is giving clear explanations to frequently asked questions. It also gives tips for how to support the bully and the bullied.
This is an important story for both children and adults. I think sometimes the word 'bullying' is used to gain a reaction and it is important that all recognise the difference between isolated incidents and bullying. This story makes it clear. This would be great to use throughout primary school in class and small group situations to initiate discussions about bullying.
I received an eARC of this book from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

These are brilliant teaching aids, not just for children but for all.

It shows how bullying can affect your mood and dim your enjoyments in life.

With helpful hints at the end of the story, which allow for further discussions with your child or in a class.

Well illustrated

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for ARC

The cover of this book is eye catching. A story about a girl who was bullying a boy and how it made him feel.. I liked the easy to read text and the colourful illustrations. After the story there are next steps and how to help. I think all children should read this book. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.
