The Be Good Kids What a Bully
Really Looks Like
“Once
upon a very special time in a place where almost every word was
put to rhyme a wondrous site appeared one night in a moonbeam…”
and so begins the magical tale of four incredible children who
invite the reader to journey to a wonderful world dominated and
controlled by all of the colors that exist in the rainbow.
One sunny carefree afternoon
the featured youngsters, Willie, Janie, Sally and Johnny known
collectively by all as “The Be Good Kids”, are busy at play with the
other neighborhood children when suddenly they find themselves
involved in a very real and current-day dilemma initiated by the
playground bully. While the other play grounders freeze in shocked
dismay, The Be Good Kids each respond in his or her own unique and
gifted way; Janie, from the tenderest of hearts; Sally, from her
sober, stern and stoic reality; Johnny, from a very pragmatic life
view; and Willie, from a leader’s all-encompassing overview. As they
have been known to do in other challenging situations, The Be Good
Kids take charge.
There is a surprise
confrontation with a bully that is guaranteed to delight; a needed
lesson is learned; and normalcy is eventually restored.
This richly illustrated story
is a modern day happily-ever-after adventure written with a built in
musical resonance of highly textured language that encourages the
reader, regardless of age, to join in the tale and enjoy the
delicious fare that can only be provided by pure imagination.
