DescriptionGertie the elephant says everyone on the playground should stay far away from Bunny because shes super mean. But Kitty has questions: How did Bunny become a bully? Was she born that way? Was she stung by a bullybug? Or maybe she caught the bully flu? Wait, does that mean bullying is contagious? And if it is, couldnt the other animals catch it, too? But ... then no one would play with them either, and that doesnt seem fair. Is it possible that Bunny is sorry? Should they give her a second chance? Not your typical bullying story, Lana Buttons fresh take flips the focus from the child being bullied to the one being called a bully. In cadenced rhyming text, the compassionate and insightful Kitty leads children through a series of questions that get at the core of the assumptions we make about others and how it feels to be on the other side of name-calling. Christine Battuzs expressive illustrations use tenderness and a touch of humor to complement the emotional level of the text. Altogether, this is a perfect child-level exploration of empathy. It would be an excellent choice for discussions about bullying, or more broad issues of social development. It also works for character education lessons on empathy, compassion, fairness and inclusiveness.About the AuthorLana Button works in early childhood education.
