That would do the trick..., but certainly it's danger you know...

I am starting to work on a book idea for helping kids deal with specific issues that are the targets of bullies. For example, I envision one book dealing with a boy who likes to dance, another for a boy who likes to wear makeup, etc... (this is not to say that I'm going to ignore girls, only that I have two boys and most of their friends are boys, so I'm more familiar with boys at this point). I have a couple of questions for the forum to help in the design and format of these books:

1. Are there any books out now that you have used with any amount of success that have helped your child deal with bullying? If so, how did the book help?

2. If you were to hear about a series of books that deal directly with an activity your child enjoys but results in bullying, what would you look for (I'm keeping this question open so as to not limit responses)?

3. If there were a way to customize the book so as to make it even more specific to your child, would you be more or less likely to look into it?

And I think that's all for now. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

One bok I have read that does not deal with bullies specifically but more the world of girls is QWueen Bees and Wanna Bees. It is excellent reading for anyone with a young adolescent daughter and looks at the cliques that they move in etc.

Man, I hate when I get bullied and made fun of.

NorthVanKev - that sounds like a good idea. I would post your own thread though, if you really want responses.
