This is a unit on bullies.  The characters in the books are all victims of bullies in different settings.  Each of these books show how different characters handle bullying situations.  We hope the focus in this unit is to show students how important is to treat everyone with respect.  Bullying should not be accepted.  We know bullying happens everywhere and this is a unit to show how it can hurt others.  Bullying can be overcome.
