About this item
Thomas feels like no matter what he does, he can't escape Kyle's persistent bullying. At school, at soccer - nowhere feels safe! "Mom said Kyle would grow over the summer and stop picking on me, but he didn't grow up, he just grew." With support from friends, classmates, and adults, Thomas starts to feel more confident in himself and his hobbies, while Kyle learns the importance of kindness to others. The book concludes with "activity club" pages for kids, as well as information to help parents, teachers, counselors, and other adults foster dialogue with children about ways to stop bullying.
