Every child deserves to feel safe, accepted, and free to be themselves. Don't Hurt Gerald is the heartwarming, anti-bullying picture book your child needs right now!!
Gerald has two favorite friends in the world and life with them is everything he could ask for. But something has gone very wrong. A bullying situation has crept into his world (ongoing, confusing, and painful), and he does not know how to make it stop. He just wants to hang out with his two pals, be himself, and get through each day ... without being hurt.
So, Gerald asks himself the question every child in his position eventually asks. Who can I talk to? With quiet courage he seeks out the wisest creature in the jungle. It's not a perfect plan, but it's his plan. And he's going to see it through.
What follows is a beautiful socially emotional learning journey filled with fear, doubt, hope, and amazement ... as Gerald discovers ... speaking up, and trusting the right voice and counsel, can change ... everything.
Written for children ages 3 to 5, this preschool picture book about kindness and courage tackles childhood bullying in a way that is gentle, age-appropriate, and deeply reassuring. With stunning illustrations on every page, young readers will see, in a way they can truly understand, that their feelings matter and they are never alone.
Perfect for bedtimes, classroom read-alouds, and any child who's ever felt different or afraid to speak up. Gerald's story might be the story your child needs to hear.
