Children are bullied every day. Most often it is done in secret. Kids witness these injustices. When they see a friend or classmate hurting and don't know what to do about it, and they hurt too. The adorable characters in this story learn to practice bravery and stand up to bullies.
Jericka is bullied by another student. Their teacher, Miss Work, leads her students to understand how to become braver, and she encourages them to use their hearts to help their friends.
Following a math lesson where Miss Work teaches her students about equality, the students witness bullying for the third time and realize that, together, they can stand up to the hurtful words of the bully. They learn that they will put more good into the world if they work together. An important story for every 3rd-5th grade student.
