He first responds by shouting an insult, but soon discovers that fighting back with mean words doesn’t make him feel any better.

Brought to vivid life in A. G. Ford’s energetic illustrations, this heartfelt, relatable story conveys timeless wisdom about how to handle bullying and angry feelings, while seeing the good in everyone.
