My Name’s Sammy, and I’m No Snitch

Sammy never blabs. But what will he do when his best friend is bullied and targeted for a beating after school? Will Sammy save his friend by seeking help or will he be too scared to report the threat because he doesn’t want to be known as the class grass?

Sammy wants you to know he’s no blabbermouth. He’s no gossipmonger. No squealer or rat. And he most definitely is no grass!

When Sammy catches his best pal, Carlos, sticking a wad of bubble gum under a desk, Sammy doesn’t spill the beans. When the meanest kid at the primary school sneaks off with an extra cupcake, Sammy doesn’t tell tales. When the school counsellor shows up 10 minutes late, Sammy stays silent. Afterall, he’s no grass and proud of it.

But will he be able to stay tight-lipped when his best friend is bullied, called a cry-baby and targeted for a beating after school? Will the many see something, say something posters displayed in the corridors of the school make Sammy rethink his attitude and report the threat?

MY NAME’S SAMMY, AND I’M NO SNITCH is a powerful children’s tale about why it’s important to report dangerous behaviour, how to recognise the difference between telling tales and reporting and why asking adults for help is sometimes the safest thing to do.
