Fort Lauderdale, March 2005:  If anyone has survived grade school without being bullied, life has been kinder to him than the rest of us.  Most adults can remember a time when they were victim of a school bully.  And some of us have carried those scars into adulthood, allowing it to effect our grownup behavior and social skills.  We want better for our children.  Character Ed and the Magical Lesson of the Bully-Proof Vest is that something better.  

An honest and simple story of the-kid-next-door and his nemesis Buster the Bully, Character Ed opens the topic of bullies and victims up for discussion and shows children ways to disarm an intimidator without resorting to bullying back and sullying their own character.  It shines a spotlight on Buster that reflects back how a tormenter appears to the rest of us.  Whether you know a child who is being harassed or one who is doing the harassing, Character Ed and the Magical Lesson of the Bully-Proof Vest is a wonderful non-threatening starting point to open up discussion.  

Steven Rosenbloom’s experience as an educator and counselor shines through the pages of this sweet and insightful morality tale.  The illustrations that accompany the text are hip and colorful and make this story understandable for beginners (which is when most bullying begins). If you have kids or work with children, Character Ed should be an invited guest at your read-alouds.  Its lesson is a gift to both victims and bullies alike.
