In light of the spring testing that is going on…this seemed like good timing for me to read Bully, Patricia Polacco’s latest book. It is one of the first picture books that deals with cyberbullying…and highlights the role of being an ally….in only the way this author can. It is a natural for anyone who loved Thank You, Mr. Falker! Let us know your thoughts!
