We Are All Important

It was Ismarie’s first day at school. It did not start out well. She was about to go into her new classroom when two girls started making fun of her. They called her bad names and laughed at her. She couldn’t understand why. They didn’t even know her! Was it her clothes or the way she talked? Later, when the teacher assigned one of the bullies to be Ismarie’s partner on a project, they were both upset. Then they started getting to know one other and a very surprising and cool thing happened.

This beautifully illustrated children’s picture book is the perfect way for parents, teachers, and caregivers to educate kids ages 4-8 about bullying, and start a dialog about the great things that can happen when you try to get to know the other person.
