THE LAST BULLY ... a charming anti-bullying story Happiness Begins With Respect Hugo is a little starfish and so it is not surprising that in this story he comes across several bigger fish in the ocean. Sadly, they are bigger fish with the wrong attitude - they're bullies! After seeing his friend getting bullied, Hugo decides that enough is enough. He forms the Anti-Bully Club and teaches the bullies a valuable lesson about respect. By working together as a group, Hugo and his friends manage to show the bullies that there's always a bigger fish in the ocean and that happiness comes from respecting others, not bullying them. THE LAST BULLY is a confidence-boosting book for children, showing them that being different is OK and the best way to deal with bullies is to tell someone about it. This tale demonstrates how to deal with one of the biggest issues we face in today's world. Meet HUGO - a little starfish with a BIG HEART. His passion is to make others happy but he still has a lot to learn. Fortunately he has more than just a big heart, he also has a CURIOUS MIND. Through his adventures, Hugo learns many valuable lessons of character, life skills, and ecological alertness - all amid the backdrop of a magical underwater world and mystical islands. In Hugo, children, parents, and educators will discover a lovable and engaging role model with whom they can identify. We are sure you'll agree that life skills and character traits are two of the most important lessons to teach the young. Age-appropriate children's books are crucial to child development and well-written books that contain a message can expand not only a child's cognitive abilities, but also their emotional, moral, and spiritual capacities.
