Disclouse: I have received this product through Tomoson in exchange for an honest review. The opinions are 100% my own.
This may sound crazy but I already worry about my 5 month old starting school. My Muslim child will be going to school among other children that will most likely not share his religion. There will come a day where September 11 is taught in school and I fear that the teacher will portray the event in a way to create hate towards my children. The same goes for the people who are my age that spread this hate towards the Middle East because they will have children the same age as Nugget and those children will have heard how their parents speak of Muslims. That was the reason I decided to review this book.
Hugo The Happy Starfish - The Last Bully by Suzy Lieberman is a great tale to teach children the importance of mutual respect for one another. Unlike most other children's books, The Last Bully has a solid story line. Hugo basically makes a club that promotes no more bullying. It comes full circle in the end when the person who caused Hugo to start the club, request to join the club because he was bullied as well.
Hugo is a great role model for children. Throughout the series of Hugo books valuable lessons are taught of character, life skills, and ecological alertness. Children will learn to respect one another and teach respect to their peers. This will hopefully lead to children who don't bully, thus reducing bullying in schools.
The Last Bully will be available in February in 7 different languages. You are able to purchase through Amazon.com or Goodreads.com. Check out the other Hugo Books here!
