Review:

Miss Grace adored the first T-Bone book, so I knew she'd love this one. She actually read it on a day when she had felt there had been zero bullying at school that day, so it's uplifting tone fit her emotionally. But having been the victim of bullying and being left out, because she is 'different', the book resonated with her. It's a fun book and great for early readers to read on their own. We had quite a long conversation afterwards. The book helps make a serious topic accessible to kids, and we highly recommend it for parents and teachers alike!
