"""In Stopping a Bully, the essence of the story of Queen Esther and her efforts to help others being persecuted is captured and transformed it into a modern day telling that speaks clearly to elementary age children. Bringing the stories and lessons of the Bible to our children is a gift that Debbie Henderson Maestas and Andrew Thomas share with us. I'm thrilled to see another story in this loveable Kay & Ray book series."" --Stephanie Sipila Mother, Engineer, and Manager NASA Johnson Space Center-------------------------------------------------------------- ""Stopping a Bully is a beautiful book about the the power of self-worth. This book displays how a wonderful support network of friends, family, and faith can help children stand up for themselves when they are bullied. This book will teach children about finding help in bullying, building resilience, and overcoming doubt in their own capabilities. This would be a great addition to any counselor's office, school, or library to open up important conversations about bullying. A great read!"" --Christina Wilson Licensed Professional Counselor and Children's Book Author -------------------------------------------------------------- ""Stopping a Bully by Debbie Maestas is not only an insightful guide for young children dealing with bullying but also seamlessly integrates the timeless lessons from Bible stories, with a particular focus on the inspiring tale of Queen Esther.

The inclusion of Queen Esther's story serves as a powerful metaphor, illustrating courage, resilience, and the importance of taking a stand against injustice. Maestas skillfully weaves these timeless principles into the fabric of the book, creating a tapestry of wisdom that resonates with young readers. By connecting Biblical narratives with real-life situations, the author not only imparts moral lessons but also encourages empathy and understanding among children. The storytelling is crafted in a manner that is both engaging and accessible to young minds.

The incorporation of Bible stories, particularly the tale of Queen Esther, adds a layer of depth to the book, making it a well-rounded resource for parents, educators, and caregivers seeking to instill values of kindness and resilience in young hearts. The illustrations add to the richness of the story and are visually pleasing."" -Tammy DuffSchool Principal and Grandparent"
