One day, Sally has had enough and decides to make herself heard. Even though she is so small, she finds the courage to speak out and ask her classmates to be nice to one another. She learns that even a small voice or girl can make a big difference!

Sally is a great example of bravery, courage, and leadership. Often onlookers are silent about bullying in school as well as other public places because they have become insensitive to such incidents, not due to fear. In today's world, when unkind acts happen, it is just treated as normal. However, let's together work to stop this vicious cycle.

👧🏻 Children's musician Roberts pinpoints the correct age group which goes through this strong sense of injustice.

👧🏻 Sally is totally inspirational for us in the way she fights back.

👧🏻 The simple illustrations in this book are very expressive and emotional, which supports the storyline perfectly.

👧🏻 This book would be perfect as a read-aloud for 3+ and a good elementary read as well.
