Sticks, Stones and Stumped is a wonderful insightful book for parents, teachers and children that provides awareness and a better understanding ofhow to cope with negative behaviors, bullying and harassment  prevention. This adorably illustrated book is sensitive and straight to the  point. I recommend this story to all classrooms, students, teachers and parents to introduce expected social behaviors to their children. Bullying, teasing and  intimidation can change the life of a child forever. I believe this book will help many children as well as their educators with the insight of how to create  a safe school climate.

A delightful, sensitive story about a serious problem facing our children today.  Sticks, Stones & Stumped! is a wonderful tale that weaves the bully, the victim, and the bystanders into a story that all young children can relate to.   Deb Landry has created a valuable tool for teachers and parents to use when addressing the important subject of bullying.
