Pammy the Pig
- Pammy the Pig is a great book for preschool and elementary age children which has a clear message of discouraging bullying and accepting one another's differences. The book tells a story of Molly, a farmer's daughter, and a little piglet named Pammy who is "different", with her straight tail instead of a curly one like the rest of the piglets. Children enjoy the book as they meet the different animals and read about the emotions Pammy experiences as she is shunned by the animals. In the end, it's Pammy who saves the day, and the farm animals learn a valuable lesson: it is okay to be different. The farm animals learned this, and so will your child!

The Day Benny Stuck His Neck Out
- I wrote the above-titled book to deal with bullying especially because of disabilities. This story is about a short-necked giraffe named Benny who endured constant bullying until he saved his school from a fire and realized that being different was a great thing. This short story is good for ages 4 and up.

We Want You To Know - Deb Ellis
- Hi Elizabeth, Orca distributes a great title about bullying - We Want You To Know by Deborah Ellis. School Library Journal said:"When a new Deborah Ellis book is published, educators take note…The candid responses from victims and perpetrators are heartrending and eye-opening…This important book should be in every school and public library."
