Reviews
The market seems filled with books about bullying. This book takes a different approach. I particularly like the fact that Tess figures out her solution all by herself - rather than an adult figure telling her what to do. This book shows a path. Tessa and the Tease by Amy Syd Babcock has my recommendation for discussion in classrooms and households, or wherever bullying occurs. Does he think I'm INVISIBLE? This is a question many kids ask when they are being bullied. In Tessa and the Tease, Tessa asks this of herself when Luke is laughing and alleges that he did not see her. I think children who feel like this will find the story comforting. Tessa uses the beauty of a rainbow and draws Luke with an eye for his colors . Author Amy Syd Babcock teaches us a new way to view kids who hurt other children.
