For others, though, it is a lonely place where bullies pick on them, and it feels impossible to be brave. Meet Scott, Buttons, and Duncan, otherwise known as \u003ci\u003eA Boy, His Bear and a Bully\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScott takes Buttons to school with him every day to help him feel brave. He has to, because every day, Duncan is mean to him. Just this week, Duncan has called him names, ripped his painting, and stolen his snack from his lunchbox. Then Buttons goes missing. With his one comfort gone, Scott has to look elsewhere to find his brave, and much to his surprise, he does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Boy, His Bear and a Bully\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the global issue of bullying in a hopeful, gentle way that will resonate with children who have been on either side of a bullying incident. Seeing Scott learn to stand up for himself will help children who feel afraid of bullies face them in a constructive way. Scott’s bravery also inspires his friend Rosie to report Duncan’s bad behaviour to a teacher, giving children a positive model of assertive behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eScott’s situation is extremely common across the world. His story provides children with clear guidance on what to do if they are also being bullied, and on the role friends should play in such a scenario. It is a sensitive, inspiring conversation starter for children, carers, professionals, and anyone who wishes they could be brave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46664334246124,"sku":"9781925820898","price":23.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18534313482873.jpg?v=1752628494"},{"product_id":"christmas-under-the-overpass-by-katie-flannigan-9780648964117","title":"Christmas Under the Overpass","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Monday, a mattress appeared under the overpass.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Tuesday, a blanket, and an upside-down box.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Wednesday, most of a sofa.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Thursday, a pile of clothes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn Friday there appeared a rickety old man asleep on a rickety old chair.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘We have a new neighbour!’ said Mum.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is Christmas time, and a homeless man sets up a makeshift home under a bridge, across the river from Melody’s house.
