In 12 playful and adventurous scenarios, young or baby animals take a stand that demonstrates courage in the face of a challenge, along with kindness and willingness to help others. At the same time, the authors approach the topic with practicality and gentleness, making it clear that sometimes the best thing to do in a scary or confusing situation is to walk away, get help, or say nothing. Short simple text makes for easy comprehension for both parents and new readers. The book can serve as a stimulus for lots of adult-child discussion of principles like courage, discernment, sharing and caring.Stand Up! is co-written by two former teachers of young children. Their dedication is to educate us all in the issues of power, responsibility and self-appreciation.

It makes a valuable contribution to anti-bullying literature without ever mentioning the word. Instead, it is packed with impressions to help encourage creativity, individuality and confidence, skills that can help combat the susceptibility to peer pressure that is so damaging to children. It is also a call to parents to be their child's center of gravity and sanctuary. “A Note to Parents and Caregivers” opens the book, and a bibliography of resources (print and digital) is included at the end for further study.

Many of the activities in this entertaining little book can be expanded into more elaborate adventures as children's interest and understanding deepen. In this way, the projects depicted have a long-lasting impact without requiring extensive resources to keep a child's interest high. When children learn how to satisfy their natural curiosity and healthy desire to solve problems, their creative skills develop a momentum of their own that can carry a child forward into other successes and other interests. Sharing these discoveries with friends and classmates is also a valuable social experience and helps contribute to a child's growing set of skills for working together.
