Tessa and the Tease - Hardcover

by Amy Syd Babcock (Author), Julie Murphy (Illustrator)

Tessa doesn't love school anymore because Luke keeps calling her names. She asks friends and family for advice, but nothing seems to help. Then she makes a decision.

"I'll figure it out. I love science. Kids who love science are good at figuring things out." And she does!

This is an empowering and inspirational story about a girl who solves a teasing problem in school by looking closely at her tormentor and "finding the rainbow" in him. In only a few minutes, she sees Luke in a whole new light. She relates to him differently and he responds differently. Before long, Tessa has turned a foe into a friend.

Improve relationships

Improve self-esteem

Parents and teachers can assist kids at home or in the classroom with building self-esteem! The book includes a "Color List" of positive traits that children can use to identify their strengths.
