Biographie:
however, I wanted the illustrations kept simple as not to distract from the important healing messages throughout the pages of this book. We are very proud of this book, for we strongly believe bullying can and should be stopped at an early age through kindness and caring, not anger and hate. This is my hope, this is my dream.* Please visit my website at (http://www.thebigbully.ca)....

Sommaire:
I am a wife and proud mother of 2 grown children. We reside happily in Alberta, Canada, where I have been working in our local hospital for the past 10 years. Being the 3rd child of 6, I was always caring for my 3 younger brothers, which led me to babysitting in our small town.

I was once the shy, quiet girl who was often bullied throughout my school years. During that time, I was never so bold as to stand up for myself.

After many days of her coming home crying, I decided to write this very rough copy of The Big Bully in order to help her understand all feelings involved. I hoped it would lessen her pain and sadness but also teach her not to harbor any anger that might ultimately lead to hate. It worked! Then, on one particular bully-filled day, my crying daughter came home and through her tears asked, Mom, can I take my bully book to school? There are some kids who really need to hear it. The teacher read it aloud and the kids responded favorably as I hoped they would. This was a good day! Let's skip ahead once more to life after the school years, when I revisited my little book in hopes of publishing it properly so that it may end up in the tiny hands and hearts of many children. My now-grown daughter, very much an artist, updated all my old drawings into the book you see today. I kept all the words the exact same...
