不对，不能欺负人！: Bilingual Chinese-American Edition: How Courage and Kindness Make the Monster Smaller
A bilingual story for Chinese-American families — English with Chinese phrases woven in, the way many of us speak at home.
Sometimes bullying begins with a sound, a laugh, or a child deliberately left out.
When Kevin is mocked on the playground, Grandma Bubbe helps him understand "Other-ism" — treating someone as though they do not belong. Soon Kevin sees the same pattern hurting other children. But recognizing bullying is easier than finding the courage to act.
As the Monster grows with every cruel laugh, whispered insult, and turned-away face, Kevin learns that he does not have to stop bullying alone. He can stand beside someone, say, "That's not okay," and find a trusted adult who will help.
This edition

A compassionate, empowering story about recognizing bullying, responding safely, and choosing courage, kindness, and belonging.
Being different is okay. Making someone feel small is not.
Bilingual Chinese-American Edition — English primary, with Simplified Chinese and Pinyin throughout.
