Essence Of The Story, "Flappy" Being bullied can affect a person right to their very core. Surviving bullying with resilience takes hard work and help. This story is designed to give children help by giving them an idea how to survive being bullied. With the motto "From Zero To Hero!" , the main character is an everyday pigeon who finds the strength within to turn the very reason he was bullied into the very foundation of becoming a hero. An emotional story, the outcome is happy, suggesting to the reader that taking on challenges can lead to great rewards and happiness - as well as a growth in self-esteem and self-respect. The pigeon is nicknamed Flappy because his wings make such noise when he attempts to fly. Bullied by others, he is also shamed into leaving his home and family. It is sometime later that this very flapping of his wings helps him save the princess from the dragons and win an award for his bravery.What's At Stake When A Child Doesn't Overcome Bullying? Bullying can handicap normal emotional development: the child's emotional resilience is weakened along with their social & coping skills. This ultimately leads to far greater problems in teenager and young adult years - often lasting even a lifetime. Antibullying is an extremely important approach we all need to take and is the basis for this book. Benefits Of Choosing This Book.
