Books with author Alexander Black

Most books about bullying tell children how to act without addressing how they feel—you can't act brave and confident if you feel stressed and helpless inside. Jenny Alexander's approach is to develop readers' psychological defenses. Through a mix of exercises, quizzes, and fictional scenarios, she combines common sense with simple cognitive techniques to build up children's self-esteem. Her tone is humorous and upbeat, but always sensitive to the reader's feelings.

When the people saw him they shouted out, " Look, there goes AN ATTEMPT ON HIS LIFE. 151 vice driving in front, with virtue following behind!" The sage saw at once that he had been placed in a false position, and determined upon seeking some other refuge. It was whilst travelling towards the South, on the borders of the principality of Sung, that one day, being weary, he dismounted from his chariot and seated himself in the shade of a wide-spreading tree.

He no sooner saw Confucius, towards whom he entertained an intense dislike, than he drew his sword and rushed towards him, with the intention of killing him. Fortunately the philosopher caught sight of him in time, and, retaining his presence of mind, effected his escape. His companions were panic-stricken, and impatient of their master's calmness, less perhaps on his account than on their own, urged him to greater speed. "Why should I hasten?" replied Confucius; "if Heaven protects me, why need I care for this man's anger?" This answer did not reassure his friends; perhaps they felt themselves unworthy of participation in Heaven's favour, for they dispersed and fled. Left to himself, and driven from the right road, Confucius directed his steps to the capital of the state of Ching, which he reached so utterly exhausted that he was obliged to sit down on a stone outside the city gates.
