About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses anxiety about a specific classmate or playground interaction, or if they seem to be shrinking back from social situations they used to enjoy. It is designed to bridge the gap between a child's internal fear and their ability to vocalize what is happening at school. The story follows Skippy and Peter, two friends who navigate the intimidating experience of being bullied. Through their journey, the book emphasizes that children do not have to face these challenges alone. By highlighting the power of friendship and collective courage, it provides a gentle framework for children ages 4 to 8 to understand that speaking up is a sign of strength. Parents will appreciate how it normalizes the 'stinky' feelings associated with mean behavior while providing a hopeful pathway toward resolution.
