The Big, Bad Bully Now Available For Your Reading Pleasure


Authors Jack Canfield and Miriam Laundry have released their new book, The Big, Bad Bully.

Often the most negative thing affecting a child's self esteem is their own thoughts. Words have power and if a child listens to those negative voices in their head, they will end up being their own biggest bully! The Big, Bad Bully by Jack Canfield and Miriam Laundry features stunning artwork and is packed with helpful exercises that can help kids build a healthy self esteem.

"Pigtails are for babies!" she snarled at me. Her words hurt more than the time I broke my arm. I quickly untied my hair. I wore my hair down for the rest of the school year.

That was the first time I met the Big Bad Bully ... She called me names like "fatty," "piglet" and "ugly." Things are worse now that I am in the 6th grade. Even when I don't see her, I can always hear the whispers, the giggles, and the growls.

So goes the mesmerizing story of a young girl who grows up with a voice that ridicules and demeans her. In the end, we discover that her tormentor is staring back at her every day in the mirror.

Featuring stunning artwork--and small enough to fit in a backpack--this profound book is a tool for engaging children, young adolescents, parents, and caring adults about the impressions they make on themselves with their thoughts and self-talk. Included are powerful workbook exercises and resources for implementing healthy self-esteem habits that can last a lifetime.
