graders to use A Bug and a Wish in various school situations. "In

increased. I felt that the 'bug and a wish' concept would make a
great children's book for teachers to use in their classrooms."

A story of telling truth from lies -- and finding out what being a
hero really means. There are two things Trevor loves more than
anything else: playing war-based video games, and his
great-grandfather Jacob, who is a true-blue, bona fide war hero. At
the height of the war, Jacob helped liberate a small French
village, and was given a hero's welcome upon his return to America.
Now it's decades later, and Jacob wants to retrace the steps he
took during the war - from training to invasion to the village he
is said to have saved. Trevor thinks this is the coolest idea ever.
But as they get to the village, Trevor discovers there's more to
the story than what he's heard his whole life, causing him to
wonder about his great-grandfather's heroism, the truth about the
battle he fought, and importance of genuine valor.

The perfect tool to teach children how to respond to bullies. I Can
Stand Up to Bullies provides parents, grandparents, teachers, and
caregivers the opportunity to speak with children about this
important topic. You can be angry for many different reasons-maybe
a friend canceled a playdate with you, maybe it's lightning when
you're supposed to be swimming, or maybe your dog destroyed your
favorite toy. Maybe you're upset that you've argued with a good
friend, or maybe you're troubled when other kids are teasing or
picking on you. In I Can Stand Up to Bullies, children discuss the
different things that make them upset and angry, specifically being
the target of bullying from their peers. They clear up the
confusion between arguing and bullying, determining that arguing
means fighting caused by misunderstandings or conflicting opinions,
while bullying is simply fighting to fight. A bully isn't looking
to solve a problem; they only wish to make others upset or
angry-perhaps as upset or angry as they are feeling in that moment.
The children in this book teach each other important lessons
they've learned through their own experiences with bullies, driving
home the fact that bullying is never okay-but that it is always
okay to find an adult if another child won't leave them alone and
is repetitively mean to them, no matter how embarrassed they may
feel doing so. In I Can Stand Up to Bullies, award-winning author
and illustrator Dagmar Geisler draws attention to this sensitive
subject and provides advice for not only the children who are being
bullied, but also those who are witnessing their friends being
picked on and the bullies themselves.

call him dorky nicknames, seem set on ruining his plans.
Viktor knows he can’t really compete with Damon’s “cool” friends—so
their epic video game playing is the best Viktor can do to come close
to being cool in Damon’s eyes.
But then Viktor slowly starts to realize that his parents may be hiding
something from him. They’re acting very suspicious; they sneak out
after midnight and return with bloody mouths. But he’s probably just
played too many video games. After all, vampires aren’t real . . .
right?
Seventh grade is tough enough without having to figure out if your
family has fangs. And to make matters worse, the new girl that moved in
across the street seems particularly interested in things that go bump
in the night. Can Viktor protect his family, or will his sleuthing come
