The Bravest Hearts Jayne E Sbarboro

Children are bullied every day. Parents and teachers miss the opportunities to intervene because bullying is most often done in secret. Kids witness these injustices. When they see a friend or classmate hurting and don't know what to do about it, they hurt too. The Bravest Hearts is for these children. The adorable characters in this story learn to practice bravery and stand up for their friends. Their teacher, Miss Work, leads her students to understand how to become brave, and she encourages them to use their hearts to help their friends. Following a math lesson where Miss Work teaches her students about equality, the students witness bullying for the third time. They realize that, together, they can stand up to the hurtful words of the bully. They learn that they will put more good into the world if they work together. An important book for every third through fifth grade student.
