Reviews
'Harry is a great story with a happy ending. It can teach you how to stand up to bullies when they are being mean to you.' - Eli, aged 9. 'Ruth seemed to engage a lot in the scenarios and was able to block and retort . Mike is a different kind of learner. He acted disengaged and did not want to participate in the scenarios. I think some of it was a bit close to home for him and I know he has been bullied before, even as recently as this week.' - Mother of two. 'I love how this book teaches kids that there is a really easy way to stop bullies. And I really enjoy that it's not a human and it's a dog. Harry is very adorable.' - Stephanie, aged 10. 'Dogs are great teachers, in times of fun and sadness. Their comfort is what gets many people out of bed each day. We laugh or cry at their antics. Dogs as therapy helps everyone. [This is] a lovely rhyming book that will be easy to read with children.' - Vivien, Stephanie's mother. 'Harry is super cute and would be helpful for primary-school-aged children.' - Judith David, Clinical psychologist. 'This book uses the art of poetry to cleverly help children understand the experience of bullying, and presents a way forward for children who are either bullying or being bullied.' - David Opat, Child psychologist and Vice-Principal. 'In a nutshell, Evelyn Field teaches children the importance of not reacting to bullying behaviour. The students I share this approach with find it challenging but effective. Harry the Bully Blocker is full of rhyming quips and tips to help children embrace this idea and implement other strategies related to bullying. The ideas presented in the book can be especially useful when read together with an adult. Evelyn has also included a whole section of guiding questions adults can use to engage children and support the book's teachings.' - Biteena Frazier, School Counsellor, Yew Chung International School of Shanghai. 'Harry is so relatable, and Evelyn's ability - through this story - to empower through the real and practical skill of navigating bullying transcends all age limitations.' - Workplace Bullying Survivor, aged 56. 'Jack [aged 12] was bullied in six schools and is going to his seventh school next year following an overdose. He didn't get help from the school or the psychiatrist. However, while he was reading Harry, his demeanour and expression changed: slowly he began looking positive and empowered. He liked the rhyming and pictures.' - Jack's father, passenger on P.O. Jewel.
