I hope this wordless book helps generate a discussion with my grandson about issues he needs to work on: kindness, empathy, sharing, and thoughtfulness. It think the illustrations are darling.

My mom spotted this sweet book at a local shop earlier this summer and it was the inspiration for my 40th birthday gift: 40 Book for Kids to my hometown library and my children’s school library. This picture-only book depicts a new girl at school who is bullied and a bystander who becomes an “upstander” (ally).

Adorable but meaningful book. I would love to give this to a child, provide no background, and have him/her tell me what is going on in the story. It would also be great to display the eBook and have the class describe it. The ending illustrations are joyous, and could almost provide a "Where's Waldo" moment to try to locate Vanessa and her ever-growing circle of friends.

Simple wordless story around bullying. Pretty good art. But perhaps too simple. This could have used words. Or more chances to see who the characters really were. 3.5 of 5.

A simple but amazing anti-bullying story. No words, just pictures, and that's really all that is needed.
Great illustrations.
