I Feel Bullied; I'm Special

The emphasis in these books is on feelings – how it feels to be bullied, what it is like to be a person with a disability (‘special’). Good coping strategies abound in I Feel Bullied , and we see that adults can be bullies too. The children in I’m Special have various disabilities but are seen to be ordinary in their emotions and needs. We meet special grown-ups too, who live positive and exciting lives. The faces in the bright comic-style illustrations are particularly expressive of the feelings being discussed. Each book has large print, good notes for parents and teachers and a list of further books to read. They will be useful both in the lower primary classroom and with individual children.
