Is your child or teen being bullied?
Carol Di Prima published The Mmajjian Warrior and The Enchanted Carousel to give youngsters who have been victimized by malicious rumors and gossip a voice. As a former educator and librarian, she observed how painful and hurtful rumors and gossip can be. Malicious rumors left scars on the maligned youths that took a long time to heal. Oftentimes they became involved in heated fights, arguments, and suspensions from school. Gossip and rumors can be heard in the workplace, in schools, within a family, and among friends. The words spoken cannot be taken back; only time can erase the pain and the hurt. A study done at the University of Buffalo, however, “has shown that reading fictional books increases a person’s ability to empathize with others and build cultural and emotional understanding.”
In this current era, we need to continue teach kindness and empathy.
Below is a list of books on anti-bullying for all ages.
