The authors of this book have creatively presented an engaging and imaginative world to pull kids into the story – effectively engaging them in exploring how we are each in charge of our own attitudes and of gaining the right habits to manage the tough situations of life.

This book takes a specific area focus of the IB Learner Profile and illustrates the big concept to young IB learners through an engaging story. This is the type of support material that should be in high demand for anyone working in a Primary or Middle Years IB classroom.

The authors created a very cool story that teaches us about bullying. This subject is very important to me because I have experienced bullying. This book broadened my thinking and I learned that when bullying happens you have to look at different perspectives. I also learned that you should always talk to someone you trust. This book is for all ages, and one that everyone can learn from. When I read this book, it made me realize that bullying is a cycle; it is a cycle that anyone can break.

This series is a valuable and unique addition to any teacher’s resource collection. Each book focuses on a specific character trait - perfectly aligned with the IBO PYP Learner Profile attributes but equally useful for character education in any school with any curriculum. The stories and their characters are very accessible for independent reading, paired / guided reading, and as teacher readalouds. The delightful illustrations further enhance the key ideas and provide lots of detail for students to discover as they browse. The individual style of this series reflects the character of their authors and will be very appealing to teachers and students alike.
