Good-bye Bully Machine  by Debbie Fox and Allan L Beane (USA)

Price: $ 19.90 (incl. GST) + shipping. Change currency

No image available Kids learn what bullying is, why it hurts and what they can do to end it with this fresh, compelling book. With its contemporary collage art, lively layout and straightforward text, Good-bye Bully Machine engages kids and keeps them turning pages. The unique format of Good-bye Bully Machine helps kids understand the definition and impact of bullying by comparing it to a mean machine – the Bully Machine. Kids can see how bullying makes the machine grow more imposing, while kind behaviours dismantle it. Through the machine, kids gain awareness of their role in bullying, whether they are targets, bullies, bystanders or all three. The role of the bystander is especially important. Good-bye Bully Machine helps kids see the power of the bystander to become an ally, which means learning to show empathy, engage in kind acts and take a stand against bullying. (You can download A Leader’s Guide to Good-bye Bully Machine containing discussion questions and activities with reproducible handouts at www.freespirit.com/files/OTHER/GoodbyeBullyMachine_LeadersGde1.pdf).
