Self-Care for Kids! This book is a call to BE, to step forward and LOVE yourself, LOVE your community, know your history and your powerful place in it and strengthen your own creative power! This book is a tool to use. I created it because I know you are an important part of our world and your strength matters.

Bullying is real, but we can change the story by changing the focus. Begin with yourself. Begin the journey of art activist. You are the artist. You are the storyteller. Be yourself. Change the world!

Playful ink and watercolor illustrations support a powerful journey that touches on bullying in the founding history of the US, how that history may still be impacting kids and families today, and ways to use creativity and self-respect in the face of negative messages for all marginalized communities. The first part of the book briefly acknowledges the United States' past and present and shows some basic forms of activism that kids engage in. The next part talks about walking away from a bully or de-escalation and focusing on how to take care of yourself and your community. Finally practical ways creativity and portraiture can be used to support self-respect and spread respect in community are explored.

Communities reflected include Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, Chicanx, LGBTQ+ Americans, disabled Americans, Americans assigned female at birth and those who identify as women and girls, Palestinian Americans, Muslim and Sikh Americans, Jewish Americans and Asian Americans. The back includes related resources and art & witnessing worksheets to copy. (Hardcover includes a Reading Guide and Community Project)

This book is not a hero's tale or the journey of a brave fight. This book is for the in between moments, the middle of the night, the long afternoon: those moments when kids are haunted by what someone said to them in the hallway, a sideways stare at the store or what they heard on the news. It's about gathering strength for life's every day journey and supporting a strong full self all the time.

Acclaimed artist and award-winning children's book artist and author Maya Gonzalez draws from over 40 years working with kids to provide a place for kids to land during tough times and counteract the impact of oppression with truth and creative power.

The 3rd edition includes subtle changes to the art and text to focus on the kind of support our kids need in our current political/cultural environment as well as updated resources in the back.

The book shares what it is like to be a child and a teenager with autism. It has a strong antibullying message and stresses kindness and acceptance of people who are different than you. It is a true story about an orphan with disabilities who overcomes poverty, starvation, health issues, discrimination, and heartbreaking bullying incidents to compete in the Special Olympics. With the support of her mother, she learns that she can accomplish anything if she is willing to work hard and never give up.

Kelsey spent her entire life wanting to swim in the Special Olympics. At first, that dream seemed impossible. She was found alone, sick, and starving in a Russian orphanage when she was eleven months old. She was a very sick child who had autism, intellectual disabilities, and Rubenstein-Taybi Syndrome (a rare genetic disorder). The doctors did not know if she would ever walk or talk. Gradually, Kelsey became healthier and stronger. She joined a swim team and became a competitive swimmer. Along the way, Kelsey encountered numerous barriers. After ten years of being denied the opportunity to participate, Kelsey finally competed in the state Special Olympics Games. It didn't matter to her that she was the smallest kid competing and she did not know much about track and field (because she was still denied the opportunity to compete in swimming events). All that mattered to her was she finally had the opportunity to participate with the other athletes. Winning is not always about coming in first. Sometimes it is proving that you can stay in the game despite having all odds stacked against you.

When Robert Hoge was born, he had a tumor the size of a tennis ball in the middle of his face and short, twisted legs. Surgeons removed the tumor and made him a new nose from one of his toes. Amazingly, he survived--with a face that would never be the same.

Strangers stared at him, kids called him names, and adults could be cruel in their own ways. Everybody seemed to agree that Robert was ugly. But Robert refused to let his face dictate his entire life. Then, when Robert came face to face with the biggest decision of his life, he followed his heart. This poignant memoir about overcoming bullying and thriving with disabilities shows that what makes us ugly also makes us who we are.

Unleash the power of a Growth Mindset in your child's life!

This anti-bullying book for kids is a vibrant treasure chest of wisdom, addressing the pressing issue of bullying in schools.

Meet our hero, Link, a friendly Tyrannosaurus, on a roaring quest for emotional growth and self-discovery.

Link's adventure begins when he encounters bullying for the first time. But rather than focusing solely on feelings and emotions, this bully book maps out Link's journey from frustration to empowerment, making it a must-read among children's books on bullying.

STAND-ing Up to Bullies: Practical Strategies

Link learns the power of the acronym 'STAND'. Each letter encourages a step towards self-respect and a smart assertive response to bullying:

S - Stand Tall: Self-esteem and respect are critical for personal growth.

T - Tell Them To Stop: Empower your child to express their discomfort assertively.

A - Ask for Help: The role of a trusted adult cannot be overstated.

N - Never Blame Yourself: The issue lies with the bully, not the victim.

D - Develop Strong Friendships: A supportive social circle is the best defense against bullying.

This Dinosaur tale shares lessons in social-emotional learning, responsible decision-making, self-awareness, and relationship skills. It aims to transform the abstract concept of 'no more bullying' into an achievable reality.

Creating Healthy Boundaries: Link's Magic Tricks

A cornerstone of Link's transformative adventure is the concept of boundaries, kindness, sympathy, and respect. As teachers and parents, we constantly strive to promote kind behavior. This book aids us in that mission, providing children with an engaging narrative that paints a vivid picture of emotional intelligence and how to be a friend in order to have friends.

Through this story, kids learn about personal space, body boundaries, feelings, and choices. The mantra from Link's uncle Fungoose will instill confidence and resilience in young readers. This section is the epitome of a boundaries book, enabling kids to cultivate healthy friendships and improved social skills.

From Page to Practice: An Anti-Bullying Toolkit

Not just a story about bullying, it transforms into a toolkit that includes:

• 'STAND' Anti-Bullying Guide
• Discussion Questions for Parents and Educators
• Interactive Seek & Find Activity
• Creative Expression Coloring Page
• Constant Reinforcement Educational Poster
• Access to the Growth Mindset Parents Community for Continued Support

This fun and practical approach aligns perfectly with the demands of today's children's school issues, making Link's story an excellent choice among children's books about kindness, as well as bullying awareness and prevention.

It resonates with the classic how to make friends and influence people, and extends beyond mere entertainment, teaching emotional and social intelligence, self-esteem, and respect.

Through this story kids learn about personal safety, the importance of personal space, and how to stand up against bullying.
