Tony, the Lonely Dandelion

No one likes to be bullied. Everyone wants to feel special in someone’s eyes. Bullying is a serious problem impacting our children today. Marsha Barth’s book addresses the issue of bullying, and the impact and importance that this has on a child’s identity through the impelling and sweet character of Tony the Dandelion. This enriching story subtly reaches the heart of a child on their level by allowing the child to experience how Tony feels-sad, lonely, happy. Tony the Lonely Dandelion would be a great asset to any children’s library, school, or center that works with, or counsels children. -Shannon Peduto, M.Ed., Executive Director, Luzerne County Child Advocacy Center
