Bonnie Blue Button is a Bully: An Inspiring Lesson on Peer Pressure and Self-Esteem for Ages 4-8 (Norman the Button)

Bonnie Blue Button may be tiny, but that doesn't stop her from being a colossal bully.

Sewn onto a beautiful dress beside two dazzling buttons, Bonnie believes she's better than everyone else. She mocks the mismatched, scoffs at the plain, and refuses to let anyone forget how "important" she is.

But when the dress is left carelessly on the floor one night, Bonnie learns that even the fanciest button isn't safe from trouble. After a slobbery, scratch-filled mishap leaves her damaged and alone, she discovers how quickly friends can disappear when you've been unkind.

With a little help from Norman the Button, Bonnie must find the courage to apologize and show that even a bully can change.

Told in playful, engaging verse, Bonnie Blue Button is a Bully is a heartfelt story about kindness, empathy, and making friends. A perfect classroom must-have and an excellent elementary school book for kids 4-8, this touching tale gently explores friendship, peer pressure, and the lasting impact of bullying-reminding readers that everyone has the power to make things right.
