Highly recommending an excellent bullying prevention book....hot off the press!

In first grade Katie Goldman was teased about her Star Wars water bottle. She was told that “Star Wars was only for boys.” Her mother’s blog post about Katie’s experience, “Anti-Bullying Starts in First Grade” went viral and an online community of support generated international attention.
